sciatica

assessment and treatment

Sciatica is a term to describe pain in the leg caused by irritation of a nerve root in the lower back. The most common cause is due to disc related changes, although anything that irritates the nerve root cause be a cause.

The irritated nerve can also produce various symptoms including burning pain, electric shock sensations, changes in sensation or pins and needles. Some people also experience a sensation of coldness or water running down the leg and can lose some muscle strength.

If you think you may have sciatica, your physiotherapist will carry out a physical examination to determine the source of symptoms and will be able to advise you how best to manage and treat your condition.

Our physiotherapists can assess the cause of your sciatica and provide ways to manage the condition
