If you’re dealing with lower back pain that travels down your leg, you might be wondering:
“Is this sciatica—and can a physiotherapist help?”
Let’s clear things up.
What Is Sciatica?
Sciatica is a common condition where the sciatic nerve gets irritated or compressed.
It causes pain, tingling, or numbness that usually starts in the lower back and radiates down one leg.
It’s not a diagnosis—it’s a symptom of something deeper, like:
- A herniated disc
- Spinal misalignment
- Muscle imbalances
- Poor posture or movement habits
Common Signs of Sciatica
- Pain that worsens when sitting or bending
- Sharp or burning sensation down the leg
- Tingling or numbness in your foot or toes
- Difficulty walking or standing for long periods
How Physiotherapy Helps Sciatica
Physiotherapy isn’t just about easing pain—it’s about solving the root issue.
At Dynamic Health Therapy, we focus on:
- Postural correction to reduce nerve pressure
- Targeted stretches to release tight muscles
- Strength training to support the spine
- Manual therapy to improve mobility
- Education so you can avoid future flare-ups
Every plan is tailored to your condition, lifestyle, and goals.
Don’t Just Wait It Out
Sciatica can improve on its own—but why suffer in the meantime?
Physiotherapy often speeds up recovery and prevents recurring episodes.
