Whom To Consult For Pain In Leg For Suspected Sciatic Nerve?

Hi,
My name is Helena Gomes and I have been suffering from a lot of pain in my leg, I suspect that it is due to a sciatic nerve. How do I go about to select the right doctor to treat this problem? What is the specialty the doctor needs to have in order to analyze and tell me the correct treatment procedure? I want to make sure I will go to a doctor that specializes on this type of problem instead of waisting my time going to wrong doctors for this problem.
Thank you for any help you can give me.

Hi,

You can consult a psychiatrist (physical medicine and rehabilitation specialist) for the treatment of your sciatic nerve pain.

Hope this helps you. Let me know if I can assist you further.
