Sciatica

Sciatica is a common condition characterized by pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which extends from the lower back through the buttocks and down the back of each leg. This nerve pain is typically caused by compression or irritation of the nerve roots in the lower lumbar spine, most commonly  due to disc herniation, spinal stenosis, or degenerative changes. Sciatica can significantly impact an individual's daily life, affecting their mobility and overall comfort. 

As physiotherapists, we excel in assessing, diagnosing, and treating sciatica using evidence-based techniques and a personalized approach. Our comprehensive treatment plans often involve pain management strategies, manual therapy, targeted exercises to improve strength and flexibility, and postural education to alleviate nerve compression. By working closely with our patients, we aim to alleviate sciatic pain, restore function, and provide the necessary tools and knowledge to prevent future episodes, ensuring lasting relief and an enhanced quality of life.
