Sciatica Physiotherapy in Indirapuram

Sciatica physiotherapy treats pain that travels from the lower back or buttock down the leg along the sciatic nerve, usually caused by an irritated nerve root. Most sciatica settles without surgery.

People with shooting, burning or electric leg pain, tingling or numbness in the leg or foot, and those diagnosed with a disc bulge or stenosis pressing on a nerve.

It commonly helps with disc bulge, slip disc physiotherapy, spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis and lumbar spondylosis. Piriformis-related buttock pain, which can mimic sciatica, is also assessed and treated.

Less leg pain, better walking and sitting tolerance, reduced numbness and a lower chance of needing injections or surgery.

Specific movements that draw leg pain back towards the spine reduce nerve irritation. Pain relief makes moving possible, and gradual strengthening protects the back once symptoms settle.

We test reflexes, strength, sensation and nerve tension, find which positions ease or worsen the leg pain, and check for warning signs.

After a quick check on how you have been since the last visit, the session combines hands-on treatment or electrotherapy where it helps, such as robotic spinal decompression and spinal traction therapy, with guided exercises like mckenzie extension and pelvic tilts. It ends with an updated home programme.

It is usually combined with robotic spinal decompression, spinal traction therapy, TENS therapy, interferential therapy (IFT) and manual therapy, depending on your assessment and how you respond.

Common exercises include mckenzie extension, pelvic tilts, knee to chest stretch, glute bridge, bird dog and walking exercises. They start at a comfortable level and are progressed as you improve.

A session usually takes 45 minutes, covering a progress check, treatment and an update to your home exercises.

Typically 8 to 12 sessions over 6 to 12 weeks. Nerve pain improves more slowly than back pain.

Two to three times a week early on.

Yes. Most people see steady improvement in leg pain over the first few weeks of targeted treatment.

Yes. Walking distance and sitting tolerance improve as the nerve settles.

Yes. Core and hip strength is built once leg pain is under control.

Yes, apart from traction and decompression, which need clinic equipment. We visit homes across Indirapuram, Vaishali, Vasundhara, Noida and Ghaziabad; see home visit physiotherapy.

Yes, after microdiscectomy or decompression surgery once cleared.

Yes. In older adults sciatica is often due to stenosis, which responds to flexion-based exercise and walking programmes.

Saddle numbness, bladder or bowel problems or rapidly worsening leg weakness need emergency care immediately.

When leg pain lasts more than a few days, goes below the knee, or comes with numbness or weakness. You can book an assessment at our Indirapuram clinic or ask for a home visit.

Sciatica is pain travelling along the sciatic nerve from the lower back or buttock down the leg, usually caused by an irritated nerve root.

Common causes include disc herniation, spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, and less often muscle tightness around the nerve in the buttock.

Common symptoms include shooting, burning or electric pain down the leg, often below the knee, with tingling or numbness, worse with sitting or coughing.

Clinical examination of reflexes, strength and nerve tension, with MRI for severe or persistent cases.

Yes. Targeted exercises and pain relief help most people recover without surgery.

To reduce leg pain, restore walking and sitting, and strengthen the back and hips to prevent recurrence.

Treatment usually combines exercises such as mckenzie extension, pelvic tilts and knee to chest stretch with robotic spinal decompression, spinal traction therapy and TENS therapy. Hands-on treatment, education and activity advice are added as needed, and the plan changes as you progress.
