Looking for sciatica relief in Beaverton or Lake Oswego, OR?
Let Hopstown Physical Therapy Help!
Are you searching for sciatica relief? Disc herniations frequently cause pressure on the nerve, causing pain and inflammation of the sciatic nerve, resulting in sciatica. Sciatica (also known as lumbar radiculopathy) affects the nerves that exit the lower back and travel down the leg (L4-S3). (Femoral nerve radiculopathy in the front of the leg is far less common.)
Sciatica can be crippling. In most cases, seeking help early is the key to resolving the problem quickly. Finding relief alone can be difficult, and doing nothing can worsen or prolong the symptoms. Fortunately, physical therapy in Beaverton and Lake Oswego, OR at Hopstown Physical Therapy can provide you with immediate relief and the tools you need to experience long-term sciatica relief.
We are here to assist you!
What factors cause sciatica pain?
Sciatica is caused by irritation and/or inflammation of the nerve roots that exit from the lower back’s lumbar spine region. A herniated disc, bone spurs from degenerative changes, or some type of nerve injury are the most common causes of irritation. The sciatic nerve runs from your lower back down your legs and into your feet.
Sciatica pain is most commonly felt on one side/leg and affects people between the ages of 30 and 50, but it can affect all ages.
Although sciatica is commonly described as a pinched nerve, the majority of cases are caused by inflammation. The good news is that the majority of people recover from sciatica conservatively, without the need of surgery. The bad news is that the majority of people will have more than one episode, and the condition will often worsen with each one. Our highly-skilled physical therapists in Beaverton and Lake Oswego, OR will address your symptoms, but more importantly, we will get to the root of the problem and provide you with the tools you need for the pain to resolve and prevent it from returning in the future!
Finding sciatica relief through physical therapy
Sciatica is commonly thought to be just a painful condition, but it can also have an impact on mobility, strength, gait, and balance. It is crucial to seek the assistance of a physical therapist and get your back pain evaluated.
Our physical therapists at Hopstown Physical Therapy will conduct a detailed examination to determine your body’s range of motion, any weaknesses, the location and severity of pain, and any other changes to your normal functioning. It is also critical to test the function and mobility of the nerves to identify any restrictions or limitations.
Our therapists will tailor your treatment plans to your specific situation and symptoms. To reduce stiffness in your soft tissues and joint mobility, our Beaverton and Lake Oswego, OR physical therapists may use targeted manual therapy techniques and specific mobility exercises.
