Sciatic pain, also known as sciatica, is a common condition that causes nerve related pain running from the lower back down the leg, and in some cases into the foot. It is often described as a sharp, burning or shooting pain and may also involve numbness, tingling or weakness. Sciatica can significantly affect your ability to move, work or sleep comfortably.
Physiotherapy is one of the most effective ways to manage sciatic symptoms and help you avoid relying on long term medication. Our team has extensive experience treating sciatic pain and other spinal conditions, and we tailor treatment plans to your individual needs.
Targeted care for nerve related pain and mobility
Sciatic pain may be caused by a range of issues including disc irritation, spinal joint compression, nerve impingement, muscle tension or poor posture. Our physiotherapists perform a detailed assessment to identify the source of your symptoms and develop a treatment plan to reduce pain and restore movement.
Sciatic pain physiotherapy treatments may include:
Sciatic pain can make it difficult to perform even simple tasks like walking, sitting or bending. We work closely with you to improve comfort in daily life and help you return to work, physical activity and restful sleep. Our team can also identify lifestyle factors that may be contributing to your symptoms and provide strategies to reduce pressure on the sciatic nerve.
Whether your symptoms are recent or have been ongoing for some time, our approach is based on your goals and functional needs.
Physiotherapy is not only about relieving current pain but also about preventing recurrence. We guide you through a program that promotes long term spinal health, strength and flexibility. If necessary, we work with your doctor or specialist to ensure the best outcome for your condition.
If you are unsure whether physiotherapy is right for your sciatic pain, contact us today. We are always happy to answer questions and help you take the next step toward recovery.
