Can Physical Therapy Relieve my Sciatica?
For people who suffer from sciatica
pain, getting relief is usually high on
their list of things to do. Sciatica pain
is a grueling pain caused by irritation
of the roots or lower lumbar and
lumbosacral spine. Some common
symptoms include burning or tingling
that goes down your leg, a shooting
pain that may make it difficult to stand
up or a constant pain on one side of
your back that extends down your leg.
When it comes to sciatica pain, many people benefit from physical therapy.
There are many things a physical therapist may do to help relieve your
sciatica including:
Massage - This helps relieve the tension that could possibly be pressing on
your sciatic nerve and causing you pain.
Nerve Stimulation - This technique is done by using a machine to
stimulate your muscles through variable intensities of electrical current.
While it may not sound very appealing, this is a safe way to relieve sciatica
pain.
Hot/Cold Therapies - Usually this involves alternating a heat pack and a
cold pack to help reduce muscle spasms and slow circulation. This is also a
great technique to reduce inflammation and pain.
Home Exercises - Your physical therapist will likely give you exercises to
do at home to further relieve your sciatica symptoms.
The great thing about physical therapy is that each physical therapy
program is tailored to each patient depending on their symptoms and health
history. If you are referred to a physical therapist due to sciatica pain, make
sure you choose a physical therapist that is experienced in treating patients
