Sciatica

Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve becomes irritated or compressed, causing pain that can travel from the lower back into the buttock, leg, or foot. Symptoms can range from mild discomfort to sharp, burning, or persistent pain. Our care focuses on reducing nerve irritation, improving movement, and restoring function.

Our team will work with you to reduce nerve pain, improve movement, and support long-term recovery.
