Sciatica
Sciatica is pain coming down the back of your leg through the ‘sciatic nerve’ that comes from your lower back. It can sometimes be very severe and cause difficulty with all of your activities.
It is important that the cause of your sciatica is identified in-order to devise the most effective treatment plan for you. It is also important to rule out more sinister pathologies that may need to be reviewed medically. This is rare, but it is important to be sure by being thoroughly assessed.
Following an assessment with one of our therapists, your treatments/sessions will include:
- Reassurance, advice and education
- Tips on how to avoid aggravation
- A graded exercise programme to ensure you create the best possible environment for the nerve/sciatica to settle down
- Manual therapy techniques
- Soft tissue therapy such as massage
- Exercise based rehab
