Our experienced team of physiotherapists and chiropractors conducts thorough assessments to accurately diagnose sciatica and identify its underlying causes. Using advanced diagnostic tools and techniques, we evaluate factors such as nerve compression, muscle imbalances, spinal misalignment, and disc herniation. This precise assessment allows us to develop personalized treatment plans tailored to each individual’s specific needs and symptoms.

Comprehensive Sciatica Treatment to Address Associated Issues:

Beyond managing the immediate symptoms of sciatica, we recognize the importance of addressing associated issues to support long-term recovery. Our comprehensive approach targets not only the physical symptoms but also the emotional and psychological aspects of sciatica. We provide support and guidance to help individuals cope with symptoms such as:

• Sharp shooting pain along the sciatic nerve pathway
• Tingling or numbness in the leg or foot
• Muscle weakness
• Difficulty standing or walking
• Limited range of motion in the lower back or legs

Personalized Treatment Plans for Effective Management of Sciatica:

Upon diagnosis, our team develops personalized treatment plans based on the individual’s unique symptoms, needs, and goals. These plans outline the recommended interventions, which may include a combination of manual therapy, corrective exercises, spinal adjustments, modalities such as ultrasound or electrical stimulation, and lifestyle modifications. We monitor progress closely and adjust treatment plans as needed to ensure optimal recovery.

Specialized Rehabilitation Techniques:

At Form & Function Markham, we offer specialized rehabilitation techniques to address the specific challenges of sciatica recovery. Our treatment protocols may include:

• Manual therapy to release muscle tension and improve joint mobility
• Corrective exercises to strengthen the core, improve posture, and alleviate pressure on the sciatic nerve
• Spinal adjustments to restore proper alignment and relieve nerve compression
• Modalities such as acupuncture and electric muscle stimulation  reduce inflammation and alleviate pain
• Education on ergonomic principles, proper lifting techniques, and lifestyle modifications to prevent future episodes of sciatica
• Functional rehab in our 20 000 sq foot rehab space 

Prevention and Education:

In addition to providing treatment for sciatica, we emphasize the importance of prevention and education to reduce the risk of recurrence. Our team provides guidance on posture correction, ergonomic principles, and movement mechanics to prevent excessive strain on the lower back and pelvis. We also educate individuals on the signs and symptoms of sciatica, empowering them to seek prompt medical attention if they experience any red flags.
