Sciatica
Targeted decompression for nerve-related leg pain.
Overview
Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which branches from your lower back through your hips and buttocks and down each leg. This condition typically affects only one side of the body and can range from mild discomfort to severe, debilitating pain. Our specialized decompression and nerve mobilization techniques provide effective relief.
Common Causes
- Herniated or bulging lumbar disc
- Spinal stenosis narrowing the nerve pathway
- Piriformis syndrome
- Degenerative disc disease
- Spondylolisthesis
- Pregnancy-related pressure on the nerve
- Muscle spasms in the back or buttocks
- Prolonged sitting on hard surfaces
Signs & Symptoms
- Sharp, burning pain from lower back to leg
- Numbness or tingling in the leg or foot
- Weakness in the affected leg
- Pain that worsens when sitting
- Difficulty standing or walking
- Constant pain on one side of the buttock
- Electric shock-like sensations down the leg
Our Treatment Approach
Nerve Assessment
Comprehensive neurological examination to identify the exact location and cause of nerve compression.
Spinal Decompression
Non-surgical techniques to reduce pressure on the sciatic nerve by creating space between vertebrae.
Neural Mobilization
Specialized techniques to improve sciatic nerve mobility and reduce adhesions along its pathway.
Core Stabilization
Targeted exercises to strengthen the muscles that support the spine and prevent recurrence.
Prevention Tips
- Maintain good posture when sitting
- Exercise regularly to strengthen core and back
- Use proper body mechanics when lifting
- Avoid prolonged sitting — take regular breaks
- Sleep on your side with a pillow between knees
- Maintain a healthy weight
Recovery Time
Mild sciatica often improves within 4-6 weeks. Moderate to severe cases may require 8-12 weeks of treatment, with some patients experiencing significant relief within the first few sessions.
When to Seek Help
Seek immediate care if you experience sudden, severe pain, loss of bladder or bowel control, or progressive weakness in the leg. These may indicate serious nerve compression requiring urgent attention.
