Sciatica often starts as a subtle ache, but it can quickly escalate into debilitating pain if left untreated. The condition occurs when the sciatic nerve—the longest nerve in the body—gets compressed or irritated, often due to a herniated disc or bone spur.
How can you identify sciatica early?
✔ Pain or discomfort that radiates from the lower back down one leg.
✔ A pins-and-needles sensation that feels like a burning line through the leg.
✔ Muscle weakness or difficulty moving the leg and foot.
✔ Sudden sharp pain that worsens during prolonged sitting or bending.
How to manage it?
Start with physiotherapy! Treatments like manual therapy, targeted exercises, and nerve gliding techniques can reduce pressure on the nerve and provide long-term relief.
