Sciatica

Sciatica is a condition characterized by pain radiating along the sciatic nerve, which extends from the lower back through the hips and down each leg. This pain often stems from nerve compression due to issues like herniated discs, bone spurs, or muscle tightness, leading to sensations of tingling, numbness, or weakness in the affected leg. Living with sciatica can be debilitating, as it often limits mobility, hampers daily activities, and affects the overall quality of life. At Surge Wellness, we understand the unique challenges of sciatica and are committed to providing targeted relief to restore comfort and mobility.

Sciatica pain can be sharp, shooting, or throbbing, with symptoms that vary from mild to severe. Left untreated, sciatica may worsen over time, causing chronic discomfort and further limitations. At Surge Wellness, our team takes a comprehensive approach to sciatica, focusing on pinpointing the cause and tailoring treatments to alleviate pressure on the sciatic nerve. Our goal is to address the root of the pain, promoting long-term relief and improved function so you can regain control of your life and enjoy activities without discomfort.

How We Treat Low Sciatica

At Surge Wellness, we treat sciatica through an integrative approach combining physiotherapy and massage therapy. Our physiotherapists assess the underlying cause of sciatic nerve irritation and create individualized treatment plans that include targeted exercises to strengthen supporting muscles, spinal adjustments to improve alignment, and flexibility exercises to relieve tension around the sciatic nerve. We also offer guidance on posture and movement techniques to minimize nerve compression and prevent future flare-ups.

Massage therapy is a key component in sciatica treatment, as it helps to reduce muscle tension in areas that can aggravate the sciatic nerve, such as the lower back and glutes. Our registered massage therapists use techniques like deep tissue massage and myofascial release to relieve tension, promote blood flow, and support healing in the affected areas. Together, our treatments offer comprehensive relief, helping you manage pain effectively and regain mobility. We are dedicated to helping you find sustainable relief and long-term improvement in your quality of life.
