Sciatica

The sciatic nerve is the body's largest and thickest nerve. It begins with five nerves in the lower back combining to form a single nerve that goes through the buttocks and down the leg. Sciatica is the inflammation of the sciatic nerve. It can result in a scorching or shooting pain in the buttocks, as well as agony that travels down the leg. The discomfort is frequently localised to one side of the body.

In the early phases of sciatica treatment, manual therapy, dry needling, moderate nerve stretching, and spinal mobility training are used to lessen the inflamed nerve's sensitivity. This frequently results in significant alleviation and a reduction in symptoms.

Completing a personalised rehabilitation plan will ensure long-term outcomes and reduce the chances of your symptoms returning. There is a method for ensuring that sciatica is adequately addressed (see the early, mid and late-stage exercises below). Our top priority is to get you pain-free, but it's our meticulous attention to detail in helping you rehabilitate throughout the process that ensures our results are unsurpassed and your problems don't return.

Strengthening exercises that target the muscles that support your lower back and buttocks are included in this programme. This is critical since it will help your body manage with the demands imposed on it on a daily basis, as well as any recreational activities you like doing. Targeted nerve mobility exercises to enhance the movement of your afflicted nerves, as well as spinal mobility exercises to improve the movement of your spine, are all part of a comprehensive long-term management strategy.
