Sciatica is a condition characterized by pain radiating along the path of the sciatic nerve, which extends from the lower back through the hips and down each leg. This condition often arises due to a herniated disk, bone spur, or spinal stenosis compressing part of the nerve.
Common symptoms of sciatica include pain, inflammation, numbness, and difficulty in movement. While the pain can be severe, most cases resolve with non-surgical treatments such as physiotherapy, exercise, and medication.
"Effective management of sciatica requires a combination of tailored therapies and proactive lifestyle adjustments to reduce pain and improve mobility."
Physiotherapy plays a vital role in sciatica treatment by addressing the root cause of nerve compression and relieving symptoms. Techniques include stretching, strengthening exercises, manual therapy, and modalities like ultrasound or TENS therapy.
