Nerve pain radiating along the sciatic nerve, usually caused by an underlying spinal issue.
Understanding Sciatica
Sciatica isn't a condition on its own — it's a symptom of an underlying problem affecting the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back down through the legs. Common causes include a herniated disc, spinal stenosis or muscle tightness pressing on the nerve.
Our treatment focuses on relieving pressure on the nerve, correcting the movement patterns that may be contributing to it, and building strength in the lower back and core to reduce the chance of recurrence.

Frequently Asked Questions
Prolonged bed rest is generally not recommended — gentle, guided movement usually supports recovery better than complete inactivity.
Many cases improve significantly within 4–6 weeks of structured physiotherapy, though this varies depending on the underlying cause and severity.
