HOW PHYSICAL THERAPY CAN HELP If you’re experiencing sciatica, contact a Doctor of Physical Therapy immediately. Medical News Today asserts that over- the-counter painkillers may alleviate pain, but in-depth physical therapy is often needed. Physical therapy can reduce sciatica compression by carefully introducing exercises and relaxing treatments. 1. Sitting on a chair, look down. 2. Straighten one leg, with toes in the air. 3. Repeat for the other side. Follow these steps: SELF-TEST FOR SCIATICA These treatments, hand-picked by professionals, can completely eliminate sciatica over time without the risk of narcotic addiction. If you’re experiencing back pain, don’t wait. Call one of our professionals today, and ask about physical therapy options. Your mobility is important, and your back can be healed.
What it means: If the involved leg causes increased pain, numbness or tingling or does not go up as high as the other leg, you likely have sciatica. Your next step is to see what is causing the pressure on your sciatic nerve.
