OSTEOPATHY IN MISSISSAUGA
Sciatica Treatment in Mississauga
Pain that travels from the low back or buttock down the leg can be sharp, electric, or a deep nagging ache. Sciatica describes the symptom, not the cause, and the cause usually sits somewhere along the path the nerve has to travel.
Who this is for
- Pain that runs from the low back or buttock down into the leg
- A sharp or electric line of pain rather than a broad ache
- Tingling, numbness, or a heaviness in the leg or foot
- Symptoms that flare with sitting, driving, or bending forward
- Pain on one side that does not settle with rest or stretching
- A deep ache in the buttock that comes and goes with activity
- A history of low back trouble that the leg pain seems linked to
What treatment involves at JD Osteopathy
The nerve travels from the low back through the pelvis and deep into the hip, so the whole of that path is assessed rather than just where the leg hurts. The aim is to find where the route is crowded or restricted, because that is usually well away from the spot the symptoms are felt. Treatment works with the pattern the assessment uncovers along that path.
What to expect
Many people notice the leg symptoms begin to ease or pull back toward the spine within the first sessions, which is usually a good sign. How long it takes depends on how long the pattern has been present. A typical course is three to six visits, reassessed each time so the plan stays matched to your progress.
