Back Pain & Sciatica
Don’t Let Arthritis Hold You Back – Find Relief with Physiotherapy
Back pain and sciatica are common conditions that can disrupt your daily activities, making simple movements uncomfortable or even unbearable. If you experience stiffness, sharp pain, or a radiating ache down your leg, it’s essential to address the root cause rather than just mask the symptoms with medication. Physiotherapy provides a safe, effective, and long-term solution to relieve your discomfort and restore mobility.
Understanding Back Pain and Sciatica
What is Back Pain?
Back pain can affect different areas, including the lower, middle, or upper back. It may result from muscle strain, joint dysfunction, herniated discs, or conditions like arthritis. Factors such as poor posture, repetitive movements, or sudden injuries can contribute to ongoing discomfort.
Common Causes of Back Pain:
- Poor posture and prolonged sitting
- Muscle strains and sprains
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Degenerative disc disease
- Spinal misalignment
- Workplace or sports injuries
What is Sciatica?
Sciatica refers to irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back down the legs. This condition often causes a sharp, burning pain that radiates down one side of the body, sometimes accompanied by numbness, tingling, or weakness.
Common Causes of Sciatica:
- Herniated or slipped discs
- Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spine)
- Piriformis syndrome (muscle compression on the sciatic nerve)
- Sitting for prolonged periods
- Trauma or injury affecting the lower back
