Sciatica Treatment

How Do I Know If I Have Sciatica?

Typically, the main symptom of sciatica is pain that travels from the lower back or buttock down through the leg, sometimes reaching the foot. The pain can feel like a sharp, shooting sensation, burning, tingling or even an electric shock. Some people may also experience numbness or weakness in the affected leg.

Sciatica usually affects one side of the body and can be aggravated by prolonged sitting, bending, lifting or certain movements. Symptoms can range from a mild, nagging discomfort to intense pain that makes everyday activities such as walking, sitting or sleeping difficult.

How Can Fix My Muscles Help?

Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve, or one of the nerve roots that forms it, becomes irritated or compressed. This can happen for several reasons, including changes in the lower spine.
Our specialised Sciatica Treatment begins with a thorough assessment to better understand your symptoms, identify potential contributing factors and determine the most appropriate treatment approach.
Using targeted remedial massage, trigger point therapy, dry needling and other hands-on techniques where appropriate, our therapists work to release tight muscles, reduce muscular tension and help improve movement and comfort.
Once we have addressed the main areas of discomfort, we take a holistic look at how your sciatica may be affecting the rest of your body.
When experiencing sciatic pain, it's common to change the way you sit, stand, walk or move without even realising it. These changes can place additional strain on surrounding muscles and joints, creating further tightness, knots and discomfort.
Our goal is not just to provide relief, but also to help you understand your condition and provide practical advice and exercises to support your recovery and help manage future flare-ups.
