We incorporated 'Stimpod' into our patient's treatment and we saw a huge improvement thereafter, she was able to go back to yoga and pilates without any pain.
There are new technologies that can support physiotherapy treatment for a range of conditions that are linked to nerve irritation and chronic pain.
Sciatica is one of the most common nerve-related conditions we treat in practice. It refers to irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, the largest nerve in the body, which runs from the lower back through the hips, buttocks, and down each leg. When this nerve is affected, it can cause pain that radiates along its pathway, often described as sharp, burning, or shooting. Some people also experience tingling, numbness, or weakness in the leg or foot.
Sciatica is not a condition in itself, but rather a symptom of an underlying issue such as a disc bulge, spinal stenosis, or muscular tightness placing pressure on the nerve.
