Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need a sciatica specialist?
Sciatica usually causes pain, tingling, numbness or weakness that travels from the lower back or buttock into one leg. A physiotherapist who regularly treats nerve-related leg pain can assess what is driving your symptoms and explain the appropriate next steps.
How quickly should sciatica improve with physiotherapy?
Recovery time varies with the cause and severity. Many cases improve over several weeks, while persistent or complex symptoms may take longer. Your physiotherapist should set expectations after assessing you and adjust treatment as you progress.
Do I need a scan before seeing a physiotherapist?
Usually not. Sciatica can often be assessed clinically without an X-ray or MRI. A physiotherapist can identify whether your symptoms need routine treatment or further medical investigation.
