Did you know - Sciatica affects nearly 40% of us? 🧐🤯⁣ ⁣ What is Sciatica? ▫️ Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the path of the Sciatic nerve, which branches from the lower back through the hips and buttocks and down each leg. ▫️ The Sciatic nerve is the longest nerve in the body that controls several muscles in the lower legs and supplies sensation to the skin of the foot and the majority of the lower leg. What causes Sciatica? ▫️This condition commonly occurs when the Sciatic nerve becomes pinched usually by a Herniated Disc in the spine or Spinal Stenosis (bone spur) on the vertebrae. Symptoms of Sciatica ◽️ Lower back pain that extends through the hip and buttock, and usually down one leg is the most common symptom of Sciatica. ▫️ The affected leg may even feel numb, weak, or tingly at times. ⁣ Treating Sciatica ▫️ Manual therapy helps by relieving nerve compression, restoring joint mobility, reducing muscle tension, and improving range of motion. ▫️ Complementary Modalities such as Cryotherapy, Therapeutic Ultrasound and Electrotherapy may be utilised to help improve blood circulation, decrease inflammation, and reduce muscle spasms. ▫️ A personalised exercise plan will be developed to strengthen the core, lower back, hips, and legs. ▫️ These areas are essential for spinal stability. ▫️ Functional training and gait training will be introduced for long-term pain management and improved movement. If in doubt, please seek professional advice.
