Sciatica
The sciatic nerve is a nerve that extends from the lower part of the spine down into the back of each leg. When this nerve is irritated or damaged, sciatica can occur. Sciatica most frequently consists of pain, weakness or numbness that manifests in the leg. Sciatica is only a symptom of another medical condition, and so finding the root cause of the pain and treating that is crucial to relieving the pain of sciatica.
There are many different conditions that may result in sciatica. These conditions include:
- Herniated Discs
- Bulging Discs
- Injury to the pelvis
- Tumors
When you suffer from sciatica, you may experience pain that worsens at night, after sitting or standing for a period of time or by jerking movements like coughing, laughing or sneezing. This pain may range in severity from a mild tingle to incredible burning.
In order to relieve the pain of sciatica, one must treat the underlying condition. Herniated discs, bulging discs and other conditions that result in sciatica can often benefit from decompression therapy, which relieves pressure from the discs between the vertebra of the spine.
If you suffer from pain thanks to sciatica, find relief courtesy of the staff at Buckhead Pain Specialists. We offer decompression therapy as well as an array of treatment options to rid you of sciatica pain. Call our office at (404) 994-6686 to schedule your free initial consultation appointment today.

When I first came to see Dr. Eric, I had a herniated disk in my lower back and had to use a cane just to get around. With every visit, I noticed a huge improvement and a significant difference in the amount pain I felt on a daily basis. After several appointments, I felt 95% better and could finally put the cane away! Today I feel a thousand times better. There's nothing like being free of pain. Thank you so much BPS!

From Pain Scale Of 10 to Pain Scale of 1! I would like to say thank you for the professional and passionate care provided to me during the time I was treated for a lower back injury. Dr. Schenendorf and his staff truly care about treating their patients with respect and getting them better using a multitude of treatments. Every time I had an appointment I was warmly greeted by name, and then taken right back to start treatment as they valued my time. They were always very friendly and helpful and made me feel very comfortable. If I was unable to make an appointment Dr. Schenendorf was calling to make sure I was alright. I would definitely recommend your office to my family and friends.

No one else compares to Buckhead Pain Specialists. Everyone was very friendly, attentive, and caring. The whole staff completely changed the way I feel about doctors, especially Dr. Schenendorf, who made me feel as if relieving my pain was his only concern. I slipping on some black ice on a Friday night and seriously injured my neck. I awoke the following morning with an excruciating headache and awful neck pain. I called several chiropractors trying to find a place that was open and BPS was able to work me in right away. Within an hour of calling, I felt much better, and the amazing service and treatment continued through my therapy.

OUTSTANDING!! As a business consultant and owner I choose my personal care wisely. Thats why Dr. Schenedorf at Buckhead Pain Specialist is my choice, professional, diligent and will go above and beyond to take care of my families needs. I was referred by a business colleague of mine whom had a personal injury case and was extremely satisfied with his services. I went to Dr. Schenendorf for a some minor lower back pain, after a few routine maintenance consultations I felt fabulous. Their facility is fully equipped and their staff is extremely knowledgable. Then a few months ago my wife and daughter were involved in a automobile accident, I immediately consulted with Dr. Schenedorf and they began therapy to ensure their well being. It feels great knowing that I have a someone so well established in the community that I can truly rely and trust with all my families needs.

Great facility. I have been seeing Dr. Schenendorf for years as part of a preventive regimine. I followed him to Roswell after school and then again at his currect location 5 years later. He is the only doctor that I see at 60 years old. He addresses all my muscular and skeletal issues before they have a chance to manifest into more serious problems. The office is is top notch, staff is great and Dr. Schenendorf is very knowledgeable.

Very Satisfied With Decompression. I was very pleased with my experience at Buckhead Pain Specialists. I had such severe low back pain, I couldn't even drive a car or pick up my kids. After decompression, I feel 10 years younger. Charles (the physical therapist) is great and Dr. Schenendorf has so much compassion and patience. All this and they are by far the most affordable of the clinics I spoke to. Thank you everyone at BPS. I really appreciate everything you did for me!

I Can't Say Enough About Decompression At Buckhead Pain Specialists! Decompression saved my life! I attempted decompression one year ago with some success.
