Sciatic Pain

Sciatic Pain

Sciatic Pain, commonly known as Sciatica, is caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve — the longest nerve in the body that runs from the lower back down to the legs. It often results in sharp, shooting pain, numbness, or tingling that radiates from the lower back to the buttocks and legs. Prolonged sitting, poor posture, slipped discs, or spinal degeneration are common causes of this condition.

Physiotherapy is one of the most effective ways to treat sciatica without surgery. A tailored physiotherapy program focuses on pain relief, improving flexibility, strengthening core muscles, and correcting posture. Techniques such as manual therapy, traction, stretching, electrotherapy, and guided exercises help relieve pressure on the nerve and restore normal movement.
