If you’ve ever felt a sharp pain that travels from your lower back down your leg, you’re not alone. Commonly known as sciatica, this condition can make walking, sitting, or even resting uncomfortable. At Milton Back Doc, we take an interdisciplinary approach that combines physiotherapy, chiropractic care, and massage therapy to treat the root of the problem, not just the symptoms.
What is Sciatic Pain (Sciatica)
Sciatic pain occurs when the sciatic nerve becomes irritated or compressed. This discomfort is typically felt in the lower back, hips, buttocks, and down one leg. It may feel sharp, burning, or like a shooting sensation, and can also be accompanied by tingling or numbness. Common triggers include herniated discs, muscle tightness such as piriformis syndrome, or improper posture.
