Low Back Pain & Sciatica — Clinique Ostéopathie Montréal
Struggling with sharp leg pain or a “pinched nerve” sensation?
Osteopathic treatment can calm irritated nerve roots and restore healthy lumbar mechanics—often in fewer visits than you expect.
How to know if it’s true sciatica:
• Pain travels below the knee, sometimes into the foot.
• Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the leg.
Pain in the lower back or upper glute is often referred pain from joints or muscles. True sciatica usually involves compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve at the spine, creating a distinct shooting pattern down one leg.
What I check during your assessment:
A global postural evaluation to see how your line of gravity falls, the curves of your spine, and the segmental mobility of each vertebra. I also assess pelvic and hip mechanics, which frequently contribute to sciatic irritation.
Evidence-informed treatment approaches:
Targeted manual therapy such as Ligamentous Articular Strain, gentle myofascial release, indirect techniques, and sciatic nerve decompression methods. Treatment may also include graded loading and simple exercises to stabilize the lumbar spine.
Your 48-hour relief plan includes:
• A position that helps decompress the nerve
• Gentle exercises you can do at home
• Movements to avoid temporarily
• Signs that indicate when to seek urgent help
