Condition
Sciatica: how we help
Sciatica is the name for pain that starts in your lower back and travels down through the hip and leg, and sometimes all the way to the foot. It often flares up after long hours of sitting, a long drive on Jaipur's roads, or when a disc in the spine presses on a nearby nerve. Many people also feel tingling, numbness or a heavy, weak feeling in the leg.
How we help
- A careful check to find which nerve is involved and what is setting off your leg pain
- Hands-on treatment and gentle movement to ease pressure on the irritated nerve
- Exercises to calm the pain and slowly rebuild strength in your back and leg
- Where suitable, your physiotherapist may add options like robotic spinal decompression, Class IV laser or dry needling
What to expect
Your first visit begins with a detailed check of your back, hips and leg, along with how your pain moves and what makes it better or worse. We then explain in plain language what is likely going on, and build a step-by-step plan so you know what to do at home and at work.
Common questions
Why does my leg hurt when the problem is in my back?
The nerve that gets irritated in your lower back runs all the way down the leg, so the pain is often felt along its path. Your physiotherapist will explain which nerve is involved in your case.
Do I need complete bed rest for sciatica?
In most cases, full bed rest is not helpful and gentle movement is better. Your physiotherapist will guide you on how much to rest and when to start moving again.
Will I need surgery?
Many people with sciatica improve with physiotherapy and do not need surgery. Your physiotherapist will assess your condition and tell you if a doctor's opinion is needed.
When should I see a doctor as well?
Most sciatica settles with physiotherapy and simple care at home. But if you notice sudden weakness in the leg, numbness around the groin, or any change in bladder or bowel control, please contact a doctor promptly. Your physiotherapist will also guide you if a medical opinion is needed.
