At Mississauga Physio & Wellness, we specialize in comprehensive care for sciatica in a modern, welcoming clinic environment. Our team of physiotherapists and chiropractors is committed to helping you address the root cause of your pain through tailored treatment plans that focus on long-term results.

Sciatica often results from irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, which runs from your lower back down to your legs. Our approach combines advanced techniques with compassionate care to help you regain comfort, mobility, and confidence in your daily activities.

What causes sciatica?

What causes sciatica?

Sciatica

Sciatica pain typically occurs when the sciatic nerve is compressed or irritated. Common causes include:

  • Herniated discs: When discs in the spine press against the nerve.
  • Spinal stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal that puts pressure on the nerve.
  • Piriformis syndrome: Tightness or spasms in the piriformis muscle irritating the sciatic nerve.
  • Injuries: Trauma or repetitive strain causing inflammation near the sciatic nerve.
  • Degenerative changes: Age-related changes in the spine reduce space for nerves.

These factors can cause sharp, shooting pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness in the legs, making walking, standing, or even sitting difficult.

Avoiding sciatica flare-ups

Avoiding sciatica flare-ups

Sciatica

To minimize the risk of sciatica flare-ups or worsening symptoms:

  • Avoid prolonged sitting: Sitting for long periods can strain your lower back and aggravate sciatica.
  • Practice proper lifting techniques: Use your legs, not your back, when lifting heavy objects.
  • Stay active: Engage in gentle activities like walking or swimming to keep muscles flexible.
  • Stretch regularly: Target your hamstrings and lower back to relieve tension.
  • Maintain good posture: Keep your spine aligned when sitting or standing.

Incorporating light stretching, maintaining an active lifestyle, and using ergonomic supports can also help prevent flare-ups.
