WHEN SHOULD I SEE A PHYSICAL THERAPIST?
A good rule of thumb is to come in for a free consultation as soon as you begin to notice sciatic pains – from there, your physical therapist can let you know what the best course of action will be. Sciatica symptoms may include shooting pains down one leg, buttock, or persistent aches and/or numbness in the lower back. Additionally, any dull or piercing aches along the sciatic nerve may be an indication of sciatica. If pain goes from dull to severe, that is a strong indication that physical therapy intervention is needed. The severity of pain you feel can change depending on how compressed your sciatic nerve becomes. The more compressed it is, the more painful it will be. Severe pain, chronic pain, or persistent numbness or weakness along one side of the body that doesn’t seem to go away are all signs that physical therapy is needed. Incontinence may also occur as an indication that your sciatica is getting worse – if your sciatic nerve becomes compressed in the area that controls your bladder and/or bowel function, you may lose control of those functions. How can I get started? Why wait to find relief? Contact FYZICAL today to find out more about our physical therapy methods for treating sciatic aches and pains. Physical therapy treatments will include targeted stretches and exercises to help strengthen the muscles around the sciatic nerve. Treatments may also focus on range of motion and postural improvement, in order to decrease stress on the sciatic nerve and prevent pain from returning in the future.
At FYZICAL, we offer free consultations that will allow you to speak with one of our licensed and experienced physical therapists to learn their professional opinion regarding your condition. From there, if you decide to proceed, you will begin an examination process that will help determine the best personalized treatment plan for your specific needs. If you are ready to get rid of your sciatica symptoms, don’t hesitate to contact us today. We’ll get to the root of the issue so you can get back to living your life comfortably!
