WHAT DO MY SYMPTOMS MEAN?
When treating a herniated disc (and, by extension, sciatica), our therapists will move through the following steps: • Manage Pain: We’ll develop a plan to address your acute pain, pulling from several options. Gentle spinal mobilizations, soft tissue manipulation of your back muscles, and pain relieving modalities such as TENS or hot and cold therapy can all help. • Improve Mobility: Movement is crucial in addressing sciatica. Spinal mobilizations play an essential role here, allowing you to move the joint without exerting effort. We’ll also incorporate active stretches and mobility work to help ease range of motion restrictions and prepare your body for the next phase of treatment. • Strengthen Your Back and Core: As your pain lessens, we’ll begin working to build strength in your core muscles, which stabilize and support your spine. By strengthening these muscles, you can alleviate the pressure on your lumbar spine that contributes to sciatic pain and a herniated disc. • Educate to Prevent Future Pain: Finally, we can provide the tools to prevent a future bout of sciatica. We might help you develop a home exercise program to keep your spine healthy or show you how to properly lift heavy objects to avoid injury. FIND SCIATICA RELIEF WITH PHYSICAL THERAPY Sciatic pain can be incredibly intense and often debilitating. Regular physical therapy will help you resolve that pain — and the underlying cause — so you can get back to living a full, healthy life.

“I cannot thank Dr Mithun Abraham and the Deer Park staff enough. I was in excruciating pain in my mid back for over a week that was just getting worse when I finally came in for a treatment with them, and immediately felt a drastic improvement that same day. After three visits within less than a week I was completely better. I’m just annoyed with myself that I didn’t come in sooner. I made my husband come in then for his lower back pain and he as well felt dramatically better afterwards. Thank you Mithun for all your help and fixing me right before my vacation!” - RRL
