Reclaim Your Active Life from Back Pain and Sciatica
At Hands On Physical Therapy in Massapequa, NY, we know how back pain and sciatica can disrupt your daily routine and make even simple tasks challenging. Our skilled physical therapists specialize in personalized care, helping you regain control and move confidently toward an active life.
Understanding the Causes of Back Pain and Sciatica
Back pain can arise from various sources, including muscle strain, ligament tears, and disc herniation. Whereas sciatica is caused by irritation or compression of the nerve roots found in the lower back that form the sciatic nerve—the body’s longest nerve, running from your lower back through the buttocks and down each leg. When irritated, sciatica can lead to excruciating pain that radiates down the leg. Pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness can all occur along its path.
Recognizing the Symptoms of Back Pain and Sciatica
Back pain often includes:
- A dull ache or persistent soreness in the lower back
- Sharp or stabbing sensations
- Muscle stiffness and limited movement
- Difficulty bending, twisting, or prolonged sitting and standing
Sciatica, specifically, may involve:
- Intense pain radiating from the lower back or buttocks down one leg below the knee and sometimes reaching the foot and toes
- Numbness or tingling along the sciatic nerve pathway
- Weakness in the leg muscles affected by the nerve
