Sciatica

 Sciatica can cause sharp, radiating pain, numbness, or tingling from the lower back down through the leg, making everyday activities difficult and uncomfortable. Physical therapy is a proven way to reduce pain, improve function, and restore your quality of life by addressing the underlying cause of your symptoms. 

Sciatica is a condition that occurs when the sciatic nerve is irritated or compressed, often due to a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, or muscle imbalances. Symptoms can range from mild discomfort to severe pain that affects mobility, sitting, standing, and walking.

Common symptoms include:

• Sharp or shooting pain in the lower back, buttocks, or leg
• Numbness or tingling in the leg or foot 
• Weakness in the leg or foot
• Pain that worsens when sitting, standing, or bending 
• Difficulty walking or performing daily activities

Physical therapy targets the underlying cause of sciatica while reducing pain and improving strength, flexibility, and posture. After a comprehensive evaluation, your licensed therapist creates a personalized plan tailored to your specific symptoms and goals.

Treatment may include:

• Stretching and flexibility exercises
• Core and lower back strengthening 
• Postural correction and body mechanics training
• Nerve mobilization techniques 
• Pain management strategies
• Functional training for daily activities

 You may benefit from physical therapy for sciatica if you:

• Experience persistent or radiating leg pain 
• Notice numbness, tingling, or weakness in your leg 
• Have difficulty sitting, standing, or walking comfortably 
• Want to prevent chronic pain or recurring flare-ups
