Sciatica is characterized by pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which extends from the lower back through the hips and down the leg.​

Common Causes:
  • Disc related causes: Pressing on the nerve.
  • Spinal stenosis: Narrowing of the spine compressing the nerve.
  • Piriformis syndrome: Muscle spasms in the buttocks irritating the nerve.
  • Back pain with sudden movements or lifting .
  • Physiotherapy: Exercises to relieve nerve compression and improve mobility.
  • Acupuncture: May reduce nerve-related pain and inflammation.
  • Movement retraining: To alleviate pressure on the sciatic nerve.
  • Manual Therapy: Mobilization techniques to maintain joint flexibility and reduce discomfort.
  • Patient Education and Reassurance: Informing about arthritis to empower self-management and reduce apprehension.
  • Psychological support: Discussions and signposting to right resources to help ease your stress.
