Sciatica Treatment
Overview
Sciatica treatment addresses the radiating leg pain caused by nerve compression. We use a combination of nerve gliding exercises, lumbar mobilization, and core stabilization to reduce irritation and promote healing. Most patients experience significant relief within 6-12 weeks.
