Sciatica is a condition that causes pain, numbness, and/or tingling in the lower back, buttocks, and down one or both legs. It occurs when the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back down the back of each leg, is compressed or irritated.

Physical therapy can help with sciatica by addressing the underlying causes of the condition, promoting healing, reducing pain and inflammation, improving mobility and flexibility, and preventing future recurrences.  Additionally, physical therapy can provide you with the knowledge and tools necessary to actively manage your symptoms, enhance your overall quality of life, and regain functionality.

In addition to physical therapy, we also offer sciatica chiropractic treatment, sciatic nerve pain massage, deep tissue massage for sciatica, and other modalities that can help with sciatica management. Our team takes a holistic approach to your care, addressing not only your current symptoms but also the underlying causes of your sciatica.
