Are you seeking relief from sciatica? Often caused by disc herniations putting pressure on the nerve, sciatica results in pain and inflammation of the sciatic nerve. This condition affects the nerves that exit the lower back and travel down the leg (L4-S3), though femoral nerve radiculopathy in the front of the leg is less common.
Sciatica can be debilitating. Early intervention is crucial to addressing the issue swiftly. Finding relief on your own can be challenging, and inaction may worsen or prolong symptoms. Fortunately, physiotherapy at Perfect Balance Physiotherapy in Abu Dhabi can offer immediate relief and provide you with the tools for long-term sciatica relief.

Sciatica arises from irritation or inflammation of the nerve roots exiting the lumbar spine in the lower back. Common causes include herniated discs, bone spurs from degenerative changes, or injuries. The sciatic nerve extends from your lower back down your legs to your feet.
Typically, sciatica pain affects one side/leg and is most common in individuals between 30 and 50 years of age, though it can occur at any age.
Although sciatica is often described as a pinched nerve, most cases are caused by inflammation. A compressed nerve in the lower back is a more serious condition requiring prompt treatment.
The good news is that most people recover from sciatica. However, many experience multiple episodes, with each one potentially worsening the condition. Our physiotherapists at Perfect Balance Physiotherapy will address your symptoms and, more importantly, identify the underlying cause to provide tools for pain resolution and prevention of future issues.
