Sciatica treatment
Sciatica is a condition that affects the sciatic nerve, causing pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness that can radiate from the lower back down through the leg. While the pain is often the most noticeable symptom, many patients also experience pins and needles, numbness, or reduced leg strength, which can impact mobility, function, and daily life.
At MOVE., we take a thorough approach to sciatica. We differentiate between primary nerve-related sciatica — caused by compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve — and pseudo-sciatica, which presents with similar symptoms but originates from muscle referral patterns rather than direct nerve involvement. Understanding the source of your pain is essential to designing an effective treatment plan.
Safety and accuracy are our priorities. All patients undergo a comprehensive assessment to screen for red-flag symptoms that may indicate a more serious condition requiring urgent referral. This ensures that if it is sciatica, it is correctly identified, and you can feel confident that you are receiving the right care.
Treatment plans at MOVE. are individualised and multi-faceted, combining hands-on therapy, exercise rehabilitation, and lifestyle guidance. Our goal is not only to reduce pain but also to restore function, improve strength and mobility, and prevent recurrence.
Whether you are experiencing new symptoms or long-standing sciatic discomfort, we provide expert assessment and personalised care to help you move freely, regain confidence, and get back to your daily activities.
