🎯 LOW BACK PAIN OR SCIATICA?

Sciatica and low back pain are two of the most common reasons people seek physiotherapy.
Many patients at our Swansea physio clinic describe sharp leg pain, stiffness or difficulty sitting for long periods.

💥 Common causes we see in our Swansea clinic:

·      Herniated/bulging discs

·      Spinal stenosis (often age-related)

·      Spondylolisthesis (vertebra slipping forward)

·      Muscular spasm or inflammation

·      Less common causes like spinal masses or infection

❓ How do I know if it is Sciatica or just Low Back Pain

Low back pain stays in the back, while sciatica shoots down the leg - sometimes even below the knee!
This key difference helps our experts at Swansea identify nerve involvement quickly.

🩺 Assessment & Diagnosis

Our physio team at Swansea clinic uses movement assessments, neurological testing and techniques like the Straight-Leg Raise test, to identify sciatica accurately.

Our goal is to make you pain-free and help you move comfortably again.

🎯 Our target

Physiotherapy is highly effective for sciatica.
Treatment includes strengthening exercise plans, sciatic nerve glides, manual therapy and self-management strategies tailored to you to support your long-term recovery.

✔ Medication Support

Short-term pain relief may help, but physiotherapy remains the most effective long-term solution.
