Sciatica can be a really intense pain that runs down the back or the side of the leg, which is usually caused by a disc herniation or degenerative changes to the spine, or even tight muscles in the back of the hip that cause pain to radiate down the leg.
People suffering with pain in their leg generally describe it like a hot poker, a shooting pain or intense pins and needles.
Early on when you’re dealing with sciatica, everything is uncomfortable. It’s really difficult to find a position that eases the pain and relaxes you. Transitional movements such as getting in and out of a car, or in and out of bed, as well as even sitting or laying for too long tend to be really painful.

In addition to the pain, there is also often fear and confusion that comes surrounding sciatic pain. Many sciatica sufferers worry that they need to see a doctor and will end up needing surgery to fix this intense pain.
Due to the discomfort that sciatica brings, it also can cause issues in your professional and personal lives. Will sciatica affect your job performance? Will you be able to take care of your kids? Is this going to be your life forever? These are all common questions that might be plaguing your mind right now.

This is where Tandem Physical Therapy steps in, and we help people just like you to understand why they’re having this pain, and where it is coming from.
We give you some much needed clarity and reassurance about your condition first, followed by an in-depth analysis to determine the root cause of your sciatica.
This is really important, because somebody who is having sciatica from a herniated disc needs a very different treatment than someone who’s having sciatica because of some degenerative changes in their spine. Therefore, we need to determine the root cause first so that we can put you on the right path and ensure that you’re getting the right treatment.
From there, we’re working with you to develop personalized pain relief strategies at home.
We start reintroducing comfortable movements, and then get to the point where we can start strengthening your body, fortifying it and protecting it from this horrific pain to prevent it from coming back anytime soon.
