Understanding Sciatica
Sciatica is caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, the longest nerve in the body. It typically results in pain that radiates from the lower back down through the hips, buttocks, and legs.
Our approach focuses on identifying the root cause—such as disc issues, muscle tightness, or posture problems—and treating it with targeted physiotherapy techniques for long-term relief.
Common Sciatica Symptoms
- Radiating Leg Pain: Pain traveling from lower back to leg.
- Burning Sensation: Sharp or electric-like pain.
- Numbness: Tingling or reduced sensation.
- Muscle Weakness: Difficulty in leg movement.
- Pain While Sitting: Increased discomfort when seated.
- Limited Mobility: Difficulty walking or bending.
