Sciatica refers to pain radiating along the sciatic nerve, often caused by a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, or nerve entrapment. Physiotherapy can relieve pain by addressing inflammation, improving flexibility, and strengthening muscles to reduce pressure on the sciatic nerve. At Godiva Physiotherapy, a tailored approach is used to restore mobility and manage symptoms effectively through manual therapy, targeted exercises, and lifestyle advice.
We employ a variety of methods, including spinal mobilisation, soft tissue massage, and rehabilitative exercises. Depending on your condition, other treatments like acupuncture or decompression therapy may also be incorporated to promote healing and prevent recurrence.
Recovery time varies depending on the severity of the condition and adherence to the treatment plan. Generally, improvement can be seen within 4 to 8 weeks of consistent physiotherapy. Your physiotherapist will adjust the program based on your progress and needs
Yes, Sciatica can recur, especially if underlying factors like poor posture or weak core muscles are not addressed. Physiotherapy helps prevent re-injury by strengthening the supporting muscles, improving flexibility, and providing education on proper body mechanics and posture
