Low Back Pain & Sciatica
Sharp or dull lumbar pain, radiating down the hip, thigh, or calf due to nerve compression.
Understanding This Condition
Low back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide. Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve—running from the lower back through the hips and down each leg—becomes compressed or inflamed, typically by a herniated lumbar disc (L4-L5, L5-S1) or bone spur.
Hallmark Symptoms & Warning Signs
How GG Physiotherapy Alleviates This
We utilize lumbar mechanical traction to relieve disc compression, targeted McKenzie spinal extensions to centralize pain, electrical stimulation for nerve healing, and deep core strengthening (Transverse Abdominis & Multifidus activation).
Seek immediate care if you experience progressive leg weakness, numbness in the groin/saddle area, or bladder/bowel difficulty.
