Sciatica is the medical term used to describe pain stemming from the sciatic nerve, which emanates from the lower back, courses through the hips and buttocks, and down each leg. The pain usually takes a path along the nerve and often only affects one side of the body. Sciatica is not a condition but rather a symptom resulting from an underlying issue such as a herniated disc, bone spur, or spinal stenosis that compresses or irritates the sciatic nerve.
Sciatica symptoms may vary from person to person. General indications include:
A sharp, shooting pain in the lower back, buttocks, or down one leg
Numbness or tingling sensations in the leg or foot
Weakness in the leg or foot
Trouble standing or walking because of pain
If you are experiencing any of the symptoms mentioned above, then you should seek medical attention as soon as possible. Unattended sciatica will only worsen and lead to further complications that could be worse than what you initially experienced.
Sciatica arises from several factors. The most common sources of sciatica include:
Disc Herniation: A herniated or “slipped” disc in your spinal column can irritate your sciatic nerve due to compression.
Spinal stenosis: This is the narrowing of the spinal canal that can compress the sciatic nerve.
Piriformis syndrome: The piriformis muscle compresses or irritates the sciatic nerve if it’s tight or inflamed.
Injury or trauma: Accidents, falls, or sports injuries may cause nerve compression or irritation.
Bounceback Physiotherapy Clinic employs an all-rounded approach to sciatica treatment. In our case, we are interested in addressing the pain alleviation caused by sciatica and addressing the original cause of your condition while preventing further instances.
Individualized Evaluation
Our initial step would be an all-inclusive evaluation of your condition in terms of medical history, symptoms, as well as your lifestyle. With this, we can provide a treatment tailored to your individual needs.
Hands-on Physiotherapy
Our experienced physiotherapists apply manual therapy techniques, such as soft tissue massage, joint mobilization, and spinal manipulation, in reducing pressure to the sciatic nerve. Such modalities enhance healing and reduce inflammation, thus getting the movement patterns in order.
Therapeutic Exercises
Strengthening and stretching exercises are integral parts of sciatica treatment. We will walk you through targeted exercises to improve the strength and flexibility of your core and lower back muscles. These exercises help support your spine and help prevent reactivation.
Advisory on Postural and Ergonomics
Poor posture and poor ergonomics make sciatica worse. Your team will provide very simple advice on how to adjust your posture, how to organize your workspace in your office or home, or even while watching TV in a way that minimizes strain on your lower back.
Education and Prevention
Education is the core of long-term recovery. We will teach you how your body works, how you develop sciatica, and how you can prevent it. By giving you the tools of knowledge, we intend to keep you pain-free for a long, long time after you are done here at the clinic.

If you’re dealing with pain or mobility issues, it’s common to rely on over-the-counter painkillers, but delaying proper treatment can lead to chronic problems. Physiotherapists are trained to help you recover faster, with less pain and better mobility. Untreated injuries can become chronic after 12 weeks, making them harder to heal. If you’re still in pain 48 hours after a minor injury, or if you have a more serious injury, book a physio appointment right away. Don’t wait until the pain gets worse—early treatment is key.
