Sciatica, or Lumbar Radiculopathy, is a term referring to leg nerve pain brought on by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve. While sciatic nerve pain is most commonly felt throughout the lower back, it can go as far as the foot. Chronic sciatic nerve pain can be debilitating, and physical therapy for sciatica can effectively treat it. Sciatica pain comes from a nerve that runs down your lower back, through your buttocks, and into your thigh and leg. For some, instances of sciatica are short and intense, others feel this pain on a more chronic or long-term basis. Some of the symptoms of sciatica include: Shooting pain from your back down your leg Stabbing feeling that makes walking difficult Numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness in one leg Bowel or bladder changes Radiating pain that comes in waves A feeling like a jolt or electric shock in your back Reduced mobility or difficulty walking Muscle spasms in your low back and lower extremities Visit our advanced physical therapy center in NYC to meet the best-in-class physical therapists and rehabilitation specialists.
