6Physical Therapy for Sciatica
A physical therapist may design a tailored stretching and exercising program to help people with sciatica. However, some doctors may suggest you to wait and see whether symptoms improve on their own. Recent studies have shown that physical therapy can have many benefits in improving mobility and pain, especially when used early. The therapist may suggest different techniques, especially repeated movements in particular directions, to alleviate joint stiffness, improve strength, boost flexibility, and relieve pain. These would include both active and passive exercises. The key is to stay optimistic and proactive as well as be informed about available treatments for sciatica. [8]
