Do you have sharp pain shooting down your leg or arm, numbness, tingling, burning sensations, or muscle weakness?
Sciatica and radiculopathy are common nerve conditions that can make sitting, standing, walking, working, driving, sleeping, and exercising extremely uncomfortable. When a nerve becomes irritated or compressed, pain can travel from your spine into your arm, buttock, leg, foot, or hand.
At MedHealth Physiotherapy, we provide personalized sciatica and radiculopathy treatment in Hamilton designed to reduce nerve pain, restore mobility, improve strength, and help you return to normal daily activities. Our experienced physiotherapists identify the source of your symptoms and develop a customized treatment plan to support long-term recovery.
Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve becomes irritated or compressed, causing pain that typically starts in the lower back or buttock and travels down one leg. Symptoms can range from mild discomfort to severe pain that interferes with daily life.
Radiculopathy occurs when a spinal nerve root becomes compressed, irritated, or inflamed. This condition can develop in the neck (cervical spine) or lower back (lumbar spine), causing symptoms to travel into the arms or legs.
Affects nerves in the neck and may cause pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness that travels into the shoulder, arm, hand, or fingers.
Affects nerves in the lower back and may cause pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness that travels into the buttock, leg, foot, or toes.
You should seek physiotherapy if your symptoms last more than a few days, continue to worsen, interfere with work or daily activities, cause weakness, or make it difficult to sit, stand, walk, or sleep comfortably.
Early treatment can help reduce nerve irritation and prevent long-term complications.
Your physiotherapist will perform a detailed assessment of your posture, spinal mobility, movement patterns, strength, flexibility, nerve mobility, and functional limitations to identify the underlying cause of your symptoms.
Herniated and bulging discs are among the most common causes of sciatica and radiculopathy. Physiotherapy can help reduce pressure on the affected nerve, improve spinal mobility, strengthen supporting muscles, and restore normal movement patterns.
Pinched nerves can cause pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness that affect your ability to work and function normally. Our physiotherapy programs focus on reducing nerve irritation and improving long-term spinal health.
