Sciatica is more than just back and leg pain — in some cases, it can cause leg weakness that makes walking or standing difficult. This type of sciatica, often called paralyzing sciatica, happens when compressed nerves in the lower back disrupt normal muscle function. The good news? With early treatment, guided physical therapy, and advanced non-surgical options like Shockwave and Stimpod therapy, most people make a full recovery and prevent flare-ups in the future.
