◆ Overview
What people mean by 'sciatica'
Sciatica is a word people use for a lot of different things — leg pain, tingling, numbness, or a feeling that shoots from the lower back down the back of the leg. The actual cause varies, and a confident diagnosis takes a real evaluation.
We don't diagnose your nerve pain through a screen. What we do is help you understand the most likely contributors, calm the irritation, and rebuild the movement and confidence that come back slowly when nerves are unhappy.
◆ Common concerns
What you might be noticing
Pain down the back of one leg
Often described as deep, achy, or sharp.
Tingling, pins-and-needles, or numbness
Most often in the back of the leg or into the foot.
Discomfort when sitting or driving
Long sits make it worse; standing eases it.
Worry about making it worse
You're moving carefully — sometimes too carefully — to protect the area.
◆ When people seek care
How to know it's time.
You don't have to wait until things are unbearable. Most patients reach out when symptoms start interfering with the parts of life they care about.
- Symptoms have lasted more than a couple of weeks
- You're avoiding daily activity out of fear of flaring it up
- Discomfort radiates into the leg, foot, or toes
- Sleep, work, or driving is being affected
- You want guidance instead of guessing

Sciatica-like Symptoms questions, answered.
Yes. For most people, structured movement is one of the most effective tools. Your plan is built around what your body responds to.
Not always. For many patients, imaging doesn't change the initial plan. If we believe imaging would, we'll say so.
No. We coordinate with your medical provider when needed, but our care is hands-on, movement-based therapy.
It varies. Many people feel meaningful change in a few visits, with full recovery taking weeks rather than months.
