Physiotherapy for Sciatica

Physiotherapy for Sciatica: Sciatica is a condition that often occurs because of pains that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which is the largest nerve in the body. This nerve runs from the lower back through the hips, buttocks and down each leg.  

Physiotherapy for Sciatica focuses on relieving pain, improving mobility, and preventing recurrence. Often times, sciatica occurs as a result of compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back to the legs often due to herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or piriformis syndrome. Physiotherapy involves a combination of exercises, manual therapy, and modalities tailored to the patient’s condition. Here’s a detailed overview:

  Goals of Physiotherapy for Sciatica

• Ensuring you have no lingering weakness that will affect your function and quality of life moving forward. With moderate to severe sciatica symptoms, once your pain resolves sometimes there’s often some leftover weakness that makes your usual tasks harder than they’d normally be. To get back to your normal self, address this. A thorough Physiotherapy assessment can help identify what’s lacking, and give you the knowledge to fix it.
• Strengthening exercises that target the muscles that support your lower back and buttock. Certainly, this is vitally important, as it will contribute to your body being able to cope with the demands placed on it day to day, as well as any recreational activities you love to do. Moreover, a robust long term management plan also involves targeted nerve mobility exercises to improve the movement of your affected nerves, as well as spinal mobility exercises to improve the movement of your spine.
• Advice and education on positioning, posturing and the level of activity suitable for you to allow your symptoms to settle and keep you comfortable whilst our treatment is having the desired effect. More importantly, we’ll also give you the advice you need to gradually build back up to the activity level you want in a safe and non-detrimental way.
