Sciatica pain happens when your sciatic nerve—the longest nerve in your body—gets irritated or compressed.
It can cause pain, numbness, or tingling that travels from your lower back down to your legs.
Common signs of sciatica include:
🔥 Burning pain in your back, hips, or legs
⚡ Sharp jolts of pain when standing or sitting
🚶♀️ Weakness, numbness, or difficulty moving your leg or foot
You don’t have to live with this discomfort.
Early treatment can help relieve symptoms and address the root cause of your pain.
Sciatica pain usually happens because something is putting pressure on your sciatic nerve.
Some of the most common causes include:
🌀 Herniated or slipped disc in the lower back
🏛️ Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spine)
🧘♀️ Muscle tightness (such as piriformis syndrome)
⏳ Degenerative disc disease
🤰 Pregnancy-related posture changes
🪑 Poor sitting posture or repetitive stress
Identifying the right cause is key to designing the most effective treatment plan for lasting relief.
When left untreated, the pressure on your sciatic nerve can worsen.
When it does, this leads to longer recovery periods, persistent back pain, and even permanent nerve damage.
That’s why starting professional treatment early is crucial.
Treatments not only relieve sciatica pain faster but also prevent the condition from escalating.
Physiotherapy is one of the safest, most effective ways to treat sciatica pain without surgery or heavy reliance on medication.
