Sciatica is a painful condition that affects the sciatic nerve—the largest nerve in your body—which runs from your lower back down through your hips, buttocks, and each leg. If you’ve ever experienced sharp, radiating pain or numbness down your leg, you may be dealing with sciatica. Fortunately, targeted physiotherapy offers one of the most effective ways to manage and relieve this condition.
What Causes Sciatica?
Sciatica typically results from pressure or irritation of the sciatic nerve. This can occur due to:
Herniated or slipped discs
Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal)
Piriformis syndrome
Degenerative disc disease
Pregnancy-related changes
How Physiotherapy Helps with Sciatica
At Pitt Meadows Physiotherapy, we use evidence-based treatments designed to reduce nerve pressure, restore mobility, and prevent future flare-ups. Here's how physiotherapy can help:
✅ Pain Relief and Inflammation Reduction
Through manual therapy, soft tissue massage, and modalities such as ultrasound or electrical stimulation, our therapists work to decrease inflammation and relieve nerve pressure.
✅ Customized Exercise Programs
Specific stretches and strengthening exercises improve spinal alignment, core stability, and muscle balance. These exercises are tailored to your condition and physical ability.
✅ Postural Education
Improper posture often aggravates sciatica. We provide ergonomic advice and teach proper body mechanics to reduce strain during daily activities or work.
✅ Mobilization and Manipulation Techniques
Manual mobilization of joints and soft tissues around the lumbar spine and pelvis can improve flexibility, reduce stiffness, and help relieve sciatic symptoms.
✅ Preventative Strategies
Physiotherapy also involves identifying lifestyle or work-related triggers. We work with you to develop sustainable strategies to avoid future pain episodes.
