Are you dealing with Sciatica and relying on cortisone shots?

If you’ve dealt with sciatica, you know how brutal it can be. Sharp pain, tingling, or weakness that can make even sitting or walking feel impossible. So when someone offers a quick fix like a cortisone shot, it’s tempting to say yes.

And while cortisone can calm inflammation and offer short-term relief, it’s rarely a solution. Most people only feel better for a few weeks before the pain returns, because the shot never addressed the real problem.

The truth about cortisone shots:

Cortisone targets chemical pain, the kind caused by inflammation. But most sciatica isn’t purely inflammatory. It’s mechanical, meaning it’s driven by movement and structural issues in your spine, hips, or pelvis.

If your pain changes based on position, like worse after sitting, better when standing, that’s a mechanical problem. And no injection can fix that.

The better way forward:

At Fearless Movement Rehab & Chiropractic, located in Ponte Vedra Florida, we focus on finding and fixing the root cause of your sciatica — not just numbing it. Through a full movement assessment and customized treatment plan, we restore stability, strength, and balance so your body can heal naturally. Because lasting relief doesn’t come from another injection, it comes from understanding why your pain started in the first place.
