Sciatica Treatment
Sciatic pain can be constant and excruciating and the longer it persists the more difficult it can be to treat so fast effective treatment is essential.
Our aim with sciatica treatment initially is to relive the pain and to give you advice as to what to do or avoid at home so promoting a faster recovery.
Even mild symptoms can become much worse if not promptly treated so if you have any signs of sciatic pain then call us or book an appointment online for immediate relief from the symptoms.
What is Sciatica?
Sciatica Treatment with Physiotherapy
We initially assess you with some questions and an examination but if the pain is severe this may be limited. Be assured the aim of our treatment is to reduce and NOT aggravate your pain. A more thorough examination may be delayed until your pain is better. Our priority initially with sciatica treatment is to reduce the pain and enable you to move more easily. This helps the muscles and joints in your back and legs to stretch and loosen and speed your recovery
The treatment may include mobilising (moving) the spinal joints in very specific positions to relieve the pressure on the sciatic nerve. Also specialist massage techniques reduce muscle spasms or trigger points (knots in the muscles) in the spine or buttock to reduce pressure on the nerve and allow the muscles to stretch.
