Sciatica
Sciatica
Are you experiencing pain that shoots down your leg or feels like a deep ache in your lower back? You may be dealing with sciatica, a condition caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve. This nerve runs from your lower back down through your hips, buttocks, and legs—making it one of the most common sources of radiating leg pain. At Theracave, we help people manage and recover from sciatica with targeted physical therapy that focuses on relieving pressure and restoring movement.
Sciatica can be sudden or develop gradually, and if not treated properly, it can interfere with walking, sitting, and everyday function. Understanding the symptoms and causes of sciatica is the first step to finding relief and preventing future flare-ups.

Q&A
What exactly is sciatica?
Sciatica is a condition where the sciatic nerve is compressed or irritated, usually by a disc issue in the lower spine. This results in pain that radiates from the lower back down through the leg, typically affecting only one side.
How long does sciatica usually last?
Acute sciatica may last a few days to a few weeks, while chronic sciatica can persist longer or come and go over time. With proper treatment, most people recover without surgery.
Can physical therapy help with sciatica?
Yes, physical therapy is one of the most effective treatments for sciatica. It focuses on relieving pressure on the nerve, improving posture and core strength, and preventing future episodes through targeted exercise and stretching.
When should I see a professional for sciatica?
You should seek professional help if your pain lasts longer than a week, worsens, or is accompanied by numbness, tingling, or weakness in the leg. Early treatment can prevent the condition from becoming more serious.
