Sciatica refers to pain that follows the path of the sciatic nerve — from the lower back, through the buttock and down the back of the leg, sometimes reaching the foot. It is typically caused by compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve, often due to a disc problem, muscle tension or spinal stenosis. Physiotherapy assessment and treatment may help reduce pain, improve mobility and address the underlying causes of nerve irritation.
Physiotherapy for sciatica focuses on reducing nerve irritation, addressing the cause of compression and restoring normal movement. Treatment may include specific spinal mobilisation, nerve mobilisation exercises, targeted strengthening for the core and supporting muscles, and guidance on positions and activities that can help relieve pressure on the nerve.
