Sciatica & Nerve Pain
Lasting Sciatica Relief, Without Surgery
Sciatica is not a diagnosis — it is a symptom caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, which runs from your lower back through your hips, buttocks, and down each leg. At Phrapy, we focus on finding and treating the underlying cause, not just masking the pain.
The most common cause of sciatica is a herniated disc at the L4–L5 or L5–S1 level, but it can also result from piriformis syndrome, spinal stenosis, or spondylolisthesis. Our physiotherapists are trained to differentiate between these causes and create the most effective treatment plan.
With targeted physiotherapy, most patients experience significant improvement within 8–12 sessions — and avoid spinal injections or surgery.

What We Treat
Causes of Sciatica We Diagnose & Treat
Sciatica has several causes, and effective treatment depends on accurate diagnosis — which is exactly what we provide.
💿
L4–L5 / L5–S1 Disc Herniation
The most common cause — a slipped disc pressing on the sciatic nerve root, causing shooting leg pain.
🍑
Piriformis Syndrome
The piriformis muscle in the buttock compresses the sciatic nerve, causing buttock and leg pain.
🔩
Spinal Stenosis
Narrowing of the spinal canal that irritates the sciatic nerve — common in older adults.
🔄
Degenerative Disc Disease
Age-related disc wear that reduces disc height and puts pressure on nerve roots.
🤰
Pregnancy-Related Sciatica
Uterus and postural changes during pregnancy compress the sciatic nerve, causing leg pain.
🚗
Post-Trauma Sciatica
Sciatica following a road accident, fall, or heavy lifting injury affecting the lumbar spine.

FAQ
Common Questions About Sciatica Treatment
What is sciatica and what causes it?
Sciatica is nerve pain caused by compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve — the longest nerve in the body, running from your lower back to your feet. The most common cause is a disc herniation at L4–L5 or L5–S1, though piriformis syndrome, spinal stenosis, and spondylolisthesis can also cause sciatica.
How is sciatica different from ordinary back pain?
Ordinary back pain stays in the back. Sciatica radiates from the lower back through the buttock and down the leg — sometimes reaching the foot. It may also cause numbness, tingling, or weakness in the leg. These nerve symptoms are the defining feature of sciatica.
Can physiotherapy cure sciatica without surgery?
Yes — in the majority of cases. Research shows that physiotherapy, when correctly targeted at the underlying cause, is as effective as surgery for most disc-related sciatica. We use traction, neural mobilisation, manual therapy, and specific exercise to decompress the nerve and resolve symptoms.
How long does sciatica treatment take?
Most patients notice improvement within 4–6 sessions. Full resolution typically takes 10–16 sessions depending on the cause and severity. Chronic or post-surgical sciatica may require longer treatment.
Should I rest or exercise with sciatica?
You should avoid complete rest — it makes sciatica worse in the long term. However, high-impact activity should be avoided until assessed. Your physiotherapist will prescribe specific, safe exercises that relieve nerve pressure and accelerate recovery.
What exercises help relieve sciatica?
Neural flossing (nerve glide exercises), McKenzie press-ups, piriformis stretches, and gentle core strengthening are commonly used. However, the wrong exercise can worsen sciatica — always get assessed first before following any exercise programme.
