  • The symptoms of sciatica occur when there is irritation along the path of the sciatic nerve.
    Herniated disc, sacroiliac, lumbar vertebra, piriformis, gluteal and hamstring muscles are potential causes of this sciatica with painful symptoms localizing in the lower back, buttock, knee and even the foot. Myofascial and joint work must be carried out depending on the location of compression of the sciatic nerve.

  • Hi,

    For this type of pain, you can contact a osteopath or a physiotherapist. They are both usefull to treat the pain. However, if the compression of the sciatic nerve come from the back (from a hernia for example), these specialists may not be enough. In this cas, an orthopedist could give you an infiltration. But befort that, you should try the non-invasive treatment.

    I hope this was helpfull,

  • Hello. Depending on the extension of symptoms, you have several options. If you do not suffer from severe motor dysfunction, osteopathy can be a good help to reduce pain and improve mobility. If the pain and symptoms handicaps your activities of daily living and you feel that you need to learn again how to move and realize those actions, physiotherapists can help you long term. If you have severe motor dysfunction (trouble to move your feet correctly, stool and urine retention disorder, trouble to walk properly...) you need to go to a neuro/orthopaedic spine specialist surgeon to discuss medical options. Don't hesitate to take advice from... Voir plus

  • Hello, I advise you to have a check-up with a health professional such as a doctor or osteopath. We'll be able to determine whether it's sciatica or another pain that mimics sciatica. If sciatica is confirmed (herniated disc), physiotherapy treatment is indicated, and osteopathic intervention is possible for acute pain.

  • Hello,
    A sciatic pain can have several origins, from a simple locked joint to an herniated disc. So it’s difficult to say what you have without seeing you. I can recommend you to visit an orthopaedic doctor ( dr Hardy, City Clinic, is great!) that can examine you and maybe prescribe you some further exam’s. If the doctor thinks I can help you, for sure he will send you back to me, and anyway will find the best solution for you. I hope this will help you. For further questions, don’t hesitate to contact me. Regards, Pascal

  • Hello,
    You can consult a general practitioner or an orthopaedic surgeon, who will examine you and probably ask you to have an MRI or CT scan to confirm that's really your nerve sciatic. Then physiotherapy will help to reduce your symptoms.

    Kind regards.

  • You can go to your general practitioner, an orthopedic dr or a physiotherapist. In most cases of sciatic pain you would be referred to physiotherapy to work on strengthening the core and back muscles. If you have associated weakness and loss of sensation in the leg than there is a more serious concern and you should consult your general practitioner as soon as possible,

    If it s a big accident like a car crash, than the advice of a doctor is important with diefferents exams like: a radio, and a neurologist consult.
    If you woke up with th epain, the osteopathe is important. Than maybe stretching that you can do to a physiotherapist in RPG for instance.

  • Hello,
    This kind of pain can have several origins. I would advise seeing a manual therapist: physiotherapist or osteopath. They are able to make a clinical evaluation to find the origin and directly carry out a treatment. An orthopedic doctor could also be considered but with a longer waiting time.

  • Hello! For sciatic nerve pain, you might want to consider consulting a specialist called an "Orthopedic Surgeon" or a "Neurologist." These specialists have expertise in diagnosing and treating conditions related to the musculoskeletal system and nervous system, respectively. They can help you determine the cause of your sciatic pain and recommend appropriate treatment options. Always consult a medical professional for personalized advice.

  • Hello
    You should contact an osteopath. Osteopathy is an excellent treatment for sciatica. An osteopath will take your health history into account, checking for any previous injuries or illnesses that may be contributing. They will then conduct a careful and thorough assessment of your joints and muscles to determine the cause and best course of treatment.

    If not, go see a physio, it is just a pseudosciatalgie wich mean that it is mostly your muscle the cause of the issues.
