Ease Your Nerve Pain with Sciatica Treatment Brampton
At Physiotherapy First, we offer customized sciatica treatment in Brampton to help you recover faster and stay mobile longer. Sciatica causes pain and discomfort in the lower part of the body. It starts as a sharp pain in the buttocks and travels down the back of your thigh. It can cause mobility issues when walking, sitting, standing, or even lying in bed. Our physiotherapists, chiropractors, and osteopaths are here to help alleviate your pain and discomfort using non-invasive and holistic treatments.
What is Sciatica?
Sciatica is a generalized term used to refer to injuries and pain associated with the sciatic nerve in the lower back. This nerve is the largest in our bodies. The nerve is in our lower back, between the vertebrae. The nerve endings extend from our lower back in two parts – one that goes down the left buttock, hip, and leg, and one that goes down the right side of the lower body. When this nerve is compressed or pinched, it results in sciatica pain, numbness, and tingling sensations.
What Causes Sciatica Nerve Pain?
Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve is injured, compressed or pinched in some manner. Here are the common underlying causes of sciatica nerve pain:
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Lumbar Spinal Stenosis
- Degenerative disc disease
- Piriformis Syndrome
- Spondylolisthesis
Some lifestyle-related causes include:
- Prolonged sitting, whether at work or in traffic, puts sustained pressure on the lower discs.
- Improper lifting techniques in Brampton workplaces.
- Jumping into intense sports after a week off sitting or resting
What Are Common Symptoms Of Sciatica?
It is important to remember that the symptoms you experience can and do vary from those of someone else. The underlying causes for sciatica will often dictate what symptoms you experience.
What Are The Physiotherapy Treatments for Sciatica in Brampton?
Customized exercises
Our Brampton physiotherapist guides you through specific stretching and nerve gliding exercises. These movements help restore your strength so you can resume daily work efficiently.
Manual therapy
The therapist applies gentle pressure to the specific spinal joints to release pressure from the sciatic nerve. This reduces stiffness and provides relief.
Therapeutic ultrasound
Ultrasound therapy uses sound waves to reduce inflammation around the sciatic nerve root. It also relaxes muscle spasms around the nerve.
Shock wave therapy
Shockwave therapy uses high-frequency sound waves to boost the body’s natural healing process. It works by breaking down the stubborn scar tissue and improving blood circulation in that area.
What Are The Chiropractic Treatments For Sciatica?
We provide personalized chiropractic care for sciatica nerve pain, depending on your recovery needs. Typically, we use either of the following techniques.
Spinal adjustments
Our chiropractor uses precise manual movements to realign your spine, which improves joint mobility.
Spinal decompression therapy
This is a specialized chiropractic technique that helps bulging or herniated discs move back into their original place.
