Sciatica is a painful condition caused by irritation of the sciatic nerve, often resulting in radiating pain from the lower back into the leg.

Sciatica

Sciatica can be triggered by a variety of issues, including herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or muscle imbalances that put pressure on the sciatic nerve. The pain may feel sharp, burning, or shooting, and it can be accompanied by numbness or tingling in the leg or foot. Synergy Physical Therapy offers targeted treatment options to help reduce sciatic nerve irritation, restore mobility, and improve overall function.

 

Treatments for Sciatica

When patients come in with sciatica, the first priority is identifying the source of nerve irritation.

Sciatica symptoms can originate from structures in the lower back, pelvis, or surrounding muscles, making accurate assessment essential. Our team evaluates whether the irritation is coming from spinal joints, discs, or soft tissues and develops a plan to relieve pressure on the nerve. Strengthening weak muscle groups, improving flexibility, and correcting movement patterns are key parts of treatment.

 

At Synergy, we focus not only on the larger muscle groups that support the spine and hips but also on the smaller stabilizing muscles that often go overlooked. We emphasize precise technique in stretches and exercises to ensure patients achieve the most efficient and lasting results.
