Sciatica Treatment at Physiocare Physiotherapy & Rehab Centre

At Physiocare, we offer comprehensive, evidence-based treatments tailored to address the root cause of your sciatica pain. Our approach combines advanced therapeutic technologies with hands-on techniques to reduce nerve compression, alleviate pain, and restore your quality of life.

Treatments Available Across Our Clinics

Mechanical Traction

• Gently stretches your spine using controlled mechanical force, creating space between vertebrae
• Reduces pressure on compressed nerve roots by increasing intervertebral disc space
• Improves nutrient flow to damaged discs, promoting natural healing processes
• Provides sustained, consistent decompression that manual techniques cannot achieve alone

Manual Traction

• Your physiotherapist applies hands-on stretching to specific spinal segments
• Allows for precise, targeted relief tailored to your exact pain location
• Combines well with other manual therapy techniques for comprehensive treatment
• Offers immediate feedback and adjustment based on your comfort level

Maitland Mobilizations

• Gentle, graded movements restore normal joint mechanics in your spine
• Reduces stiffness and improves mobility without forcing joints beyond their natural range
• Decreases pain signals by stimulating mechanoreceptors that override pain pathways
• Progresses gradually as your condition improves, ensuring safe recovery

Mulligan Mobilizations

• Combines joint mobilization with active movement to correct positional faults
• Particularly effective for restoring pain-free movement patterns
• Produces immediate pain relief in many cases during the treatment session
• Retrains your nervous system to maintain proper spinal alignment

TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation)

• Delivers mild electrical pulses that block pain signals from reaching your brain
• Stimulates endorphin release, your body’s natural pain-relieving chemicals
• Provides drug-free pain management with no side effects
• Can be used at home between physiotherapy sessions for ongoing relief

IFC (Interferential Current Therapy)

• Uses intersecting electrical frequencies to penetrate deeper into tissues than TENS
• Reduces inflammation around compressed nerve roots and surrounding soft tissues
• Improves local blood circulation, accelerating healing and waste removal
• Particularly effective for deep-seated pain that other modalities cannot reach

Laser Therapy

• Applies concentrated light energy to reduce inflammation and promote tissue healing
• Accelerates cellular repair at the molecular level through photobiomodulation
• Decreases pain and swelling without heat or discomfort during treatment
• Speeds recovery time significantly compared to rest alone

DNS (Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization)

• Retrains your core stabilization patterns based on developmental movement principles
• Addresses faulty movement patterns that contribute to ongoing nerve compression
• Strengthens deep spinal stabilizers that protect against future injury
• Improves overall functional movement quality beyond just pain relief

Radio Frequency (StimPod)

• Delivers targeted electromagnetic stimulation directly to affected nerve and muscle tissues
• Reduces muscle spasms that contribute to nerve compression and pain
• Enhances neuromuscular function by improving nerve signal transmission
• Provides pain relief while simultaneously addressing underlying dysfunction
• Discover how radio frequency therapy accelerates recovery

EMTT (Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy – Storz)

• Uses high-energy magnetic fields to stimulate cellular metabolism and regeneration
• Reduces inflammation and promotes tissue healing at a cellular level
• Particularly effective for chronic sciatica that hasn’t responded to other treatments
• Non-invasive with no discomfort during treatment sessions
