Sciatica Physical Therapy – Therapydia Denver

Sciatica Physical Therapy
Long-term, Effective Sciatica Nerve Relief

What is Sciatica?

Sciatica is one of the most common diagnoses that we see in physical therapy.
But what exactly is sciatica and how do physical therapists treat this complex diagnosis? The simple answer is the treatment is all dictated by the source.

Generally, Sciatica is a term that is commonly used to describe pain, weakness, numbness, or tingling that radiates down the back of the leg. Typically, the symptoms follow the distribution of the sciatic nerve, but there can be some confusion as to the source of the pain especially when the patient’s symptoms are referred. Our job as PTs is to determine the source of the nerve irritation or referral origin and treat it accordingly. This is often accomplished with a thorough musculoskeletal exam and typically without the need for costly medical imaging.

Signs & Symptoms

  • Pain in the rear or leg when sitting down
  • Burning or tingling feeling down the leg
  • Weakness, or problems with moving your leg or foot
  • Contact pain in the buttock

Possible Causes

  • Sciatic nerve and piriformis muscle irritation or pinching usually by a herniated disk
  • Bone spur or overgrowth in your spine
  • Spinal stenosis or narrowing of the spinal canal in the lower back
  • Degenerative disc disease

Do I Need Physical Therapy?

If your pain persists or is a result of a reoccurring injury, let’s talk. Since all injuries are unique, our physical therapists will be able to put together a recovery plan specific to you to improve your ability to move, improve strength, speed up recovery and help you find sciatica relief and prevent it from reoccurring.

Very grateful to Josh for his help with back issues that were infringing on my cycling enjoyment. In the past he was very helpful in post-surgery knee rehab work. He is an amazing talented professional, and Denver is lucky to have him with us.

So happy I found Josh to lead me in my recovery. I feel stronger in the right ways and more knowledgeable about my body than I did before my injury/surgery. I feel more empowered to move forward and be able to maintain and improve my physical well being and prevent further injury because of his guidance. So much of this recovery has been focused on educating me pn my body and that information is simply priceless.

I was diagnosed with degenerative disc disease back in early 2014 and was feeling pretty down after rounds of medical treatment that were only slightly helpful. After just weeks of working with physical therapist Casey, my back felt better than it had in years. Now I have hope that I can continue living an active lifestyle with limited pain as I continue to work with him. I would highly recommend Therapydia and specifically Casey Mcnitt to anyone seeking physical therapy services in the Denver area.
