Sciatica is a condition that occurs when the sciatic nerve becomes irritated, inflamed, or compressed. The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the body and travels from the lower back through the hips and buttocks and down each leg.
Unlike general lower back pain, sciatica typically causes radiating symptoms that extend into the leg. The severity of symptoms can vary from mild discomfort to debilitating pain that affects walking, sitting, sleeping, and daily function.
Physiotherapy is often one of the most effective conservative treatments for sciatica because it focuses on addressing the root cause of nerve irritation.
Sciatica symptoms can vary depending on the location and severity of nerve compression.
Common symptoms include:
Some individuals experience symptoms in one leg, while others may have varying levels of discomfort throughout the affected side.
Several conditions can irritate or compress the sciatic nerve.
Common causes include:
A comprehensive physiotherapy assessment helps identify the exact cause of your symptoms and guides treatment planning.
Physiotherapy is one of the most effective non-surgical treatment options for sciatica. Treatment focuses on reducing nerve irritation, improving mobility, correcting movement dysfunctions, and strengthening supporting structures.
Treatment may include:
