Sciatica can cause pain, tingling or numbness that travels from the lower back down into the leg, making everyday activities uncomfortable and frustrating. At Petts Wood Practice, we provide personalised sciatica treatment for patients across Bromley, Petts Wood, Orpington and surrounding areas, helping people reduce pain, restore movement and return to normal life.
Understanding Sciatica
Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve becomes irritated or compressed, often causing pain that travels through the lower back, buttock and leg. Symptoms can vary from mild discomfort to more severe pain that affects walking, sitting, sleeping or daily movement.
For some people, symptoms develop gradually over time, while others experience sudden flare-ups linked to lifting, twisting or prolonged sitting.
Common symptoms include:
- Pain travelling from the lower back into the leg
- Tingling or numbness
- Weakness in the leg or foot
- Pain when sitting or bending
- Sharp or burning sensations
How Physiotherapy Helps Sciatica Patients in Bromley
Physiotherapy aims to identify the cause of sciatic nerve irritation and reduce pressure on the affected area, helping improve movement and reduce pain.
At your first appointment, your physiotherapist will assess how your lower back, hips and legs are functioning together to understand what may be contributing to your symptoms. This helps ensure treatment is tailored specifically to your condition and recovery goals.
Treatment may include hands-on therapy, mobility work, stretching and targeted exercises designed to improve movement, reduce nerve irritation and support long-term recovery.
You’ll also receive practical advice on posture, movement and exercises that can help manage symptoms and reduce the likelihood of future flare-ups.
