Real Questions We Hear From Patients On
Low Back & Buttock Pain
Yes. While many people assume back pain comes from the spine, small sensory nerves in the lower back and buttock can also cause persistent pain.
Those treatments work best when the pain comes from muscles, joints, or inflammation. If a specific nerve is irritated, those treatments may not fully address the problem.
That’s one of the most important questions we try to answer. Not all back pain comes from the spine itself — sometimes peripheral nerves outside the spine are the source.
In some cases it can. Persistent pain after spine surgery may sometimes come from peripheral nerves that weren’t addressed during the original procedure.
Pain that travels down the leg often means a nerve is involved. Irritation or compression of a nerve can cause pain that follows the path of that nerve.

Still wondering what might be causing your pain?
Many patients who come to Neuropax have already seen multiple doctors and tried several treatments without success. In some cases, persistent pain may be coming from an irritated or compressed peripheral nerve that hasn’t been identified yet.
If you’re still searching for answers, a peripheral nerve evaluation may help uncover the source of your pain.
