What Is Sciatica?

Sciatica SUCKS! That terrible shooting pain down the back of your leg, the ache in your butt and back. It's completly debilitating, BUT the good news is IT CAN BE FIXED.

Sciatica is pain or irritation of the sciatic nerve. It typically happens down one leg. The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve of the body. It stems from the spinal cord, and runs down the back side of the buttock and leg, and branches further into the calf and feet.

The sciatic nerve can become irritated in three main regions: the low back, the buttock, and the back of the thigh. People with sciatica often experience the following:

Pain or irritation along the low back, buttock or thigh.
Numbness and tingling down the leg.
Pain aggravation with sitting, standing, or walking.

Sciatica Treatment At Atlanta Sports Recovery

Navigating sciatica can be scary. Having the right guidance is key. Our therapists at Atlanta Sports Recovery can help determine the source of sciatica, and dedicate treatment specific to your needs. Our process works like this...

1. Full-Body Assessment To Find The Root Cause

Our therapists are trained to identify the easing and aggravating factors associated with your sciatica. A proper full-body assessment ensures that nothing is missed, and that clarity towards your pain and movement concerns is provided.

2. Treatment To Put The Fire Out

Sciatica is often associated with movement restriction of the sciatic nerve. This means that a structure in the body may be pinching or impeding movement of the sciatic nerve, causing irritation and even pain. Whether it is joint, fascia, or muscle, taking a hands-on approach can provide alleviation of pain and freedom of movement.

Examples of hands-on therapy include joint mobilizations, myofascial techniques, muscle mobilizations, cupping therapy, modalities like Piezowave, and dry needling.

3. Corrective Exercise To Fix The Root Cause

Sciatica can significantly reduce your mobility. However, there is strong evidence supporting specific movements and exercises to regain your overall mobility. Finding a way to move safely requires a healthcare professional by your side. Our therapists will ensure you can progress your movement so that sciatica becomes a thing of the past.

Examples of exercises include sciatic nerve sliders and tensioners, mobility drills, and strength training. Your therapist will ensure that the appropriate treatment plan is clearly laid out so that you can get back to living your life, and doing what you love.
