Is sciatic pain controlling your schedule? Reclaim your life from pain today!
When the sciatic nerve is compressed, you can experience numbness, tingling, and sharp pain in the low back, buttock, and down the back of the leg. Our highly qualified physical therapists identify the root cause of your sciatic pain to relieve immediate discomfort and proactively prevent nerve pain from returning.
Common causes of sciatica include:
- Compression of the sciatic nerve close to the spine
- Tight muscular and fascial structures
- Posture problems
Problems in the lower back such as tightness, disc herniation, or degeneration can also cause symptoms that mimic sciatica, so it is important to have a therapist evaluate your pain to identify the root source and provide the correct course of treatment. Treatment can include stretches and exercises to improve the mobility of the nerve and reduce symptoms.
