Treatment Of Sciatica At Shapeup
At ShapeUp Clinic, we are dedicated to providing effective physiotherapy care for people experiencing sciatica.

Being an experienced physiotherapist we do take the time to understand your symptoms and provide an individual treatment approach designed to ease discomfort, improve mobility, and help you get back to your normal routine.
Sciatica develops when the sciatic nerve is irritated or put under pressure. The nerve runs from the lower back, through the buttocks, and down the legs. In many cases, irritation can be linked to a problem with one of the discs in the lower spine, such as a disc bulge or herniation. People with sciatica may experience pain that travels down the leg, along with tingling, numbness, burning sensations, or weakness. The severity of these symptoms can vary, and they may sometimes make simple daily tasks difficult.

The recovery period for sciatica is different for everyone and can depend on the cause, severity, duration of symptoms, and your response to treatment. Many people begin to experience improvements within a few weeks when they follow an appropriate rehabilitation programme and remain consistent with their treatment.
