What it is

Understanding sciatica treatment

Sciatica describes pain that radiates along the sciatic nerve — from the lower back or buttock down the leg. It's a symptom, not a diagnosis, and identifying the source is the first step to treating it.

Common symptoms

  • Pain radiating from the back or buttock down the leg
  • Burning, tingling or electric-type sensations
  • Numbness or pins and needles in the leg or foot
  • Pain worse with sitting, coughing or bending
  • Leg weakness in some cases

Common causes

  • Disc irritation pressing on a nerve root
  • Narrowing of the nerve's pathway
  • Deep buttock muscle tension (piriformis-type pain)
  • Prolonged sitting or sudden loading
  • Degenerative spinal changes

How we treat it

Our approach at Mvmt Theory

Treatment depends on the source: we use assessment to find the movements that centralize and ease your symptoms, then combine hands-on therapy, nerve-calming strategies, and progressive exercise. Most sciatica improves well with conservative care — and we'll flag the rare cases that need a physician's input.

This page is general information, not a diagnosis. A one-on-one assessment is the right way to find out what's going on with your body.
