Sciatica

Sciatica is a sharp, shooting pain that travels from the lower back down through the hip and leg. It happens when the sciatic nerve — the longest nerve in the body — gets irritated or compressed. This pain can feel like a sudden electric shock, a deep ache, or a burning sensation that makes standing, walking, or sitting uncomfortable. Treating sciatica early helps prevent long-term nerve irritation and restores smooth, pain-free movement.

Symptoms of Sciatica

Common signs include:

• Sharp or burning pain running from the lower back down the leg

• Numbness or tingling in the leg or foot

• Pain that worsens with sitting, bending, or lifting

• Weakness in the affected leg

• Difficulty standing up straight or walking comfortably

Types of Sciatica

Sciatica can appear in different forms:

• Acute Sciatica: Sudden onset, usually lasting a few weeks

• Chronic Sciatica: Long-lasting or recurring pain

• Alternating Sciatica: Pain switches between legs

• Bilateral Sciatica: Pain affects both legs (less common)

Treatment and Process

Treatment begins with a detailed assessment to understand what’s compressing the sciatic nerve — whether it’s a disc issue, muscle tightness, or inflammation. We use non-surgical treatments such as targeted physiotherapy, nerve-relief exercises, electrotherapy, stretching routines, and posture correction. These methods help reduce pressure on the nerve, ease pain, and strengthen the lower back and leg muscles for long-term relief. Every plan is customized to your pain level and recovery goals.

Long-Term Effects of Delaying Treatment

Ignoring sciatica can cause the nerve to stay irritated for too long, leading to chronic pain, muscle weakness, or decreased mobility. Over time, the leg may feel numb, unstable, or difficult to control. Delayed care often means a longer recovery period and more limitations in daily life.
