Sciatica Treatment in Yorkton, Saskatchewan
That sharp, travelling pain down the back of your leg — or the numbness and tingling that comes with it — can be unsettling. We assess what's irritating the nerve and build a plan to calm it down and get you moving.
What is sciatica?
"Sciatica" is the name for symptoms — pain, tingling, or numbness that travels along the sciatic nerve from your low back into the buttock and leg. It's a description of what you feel, not always the cause. Our job is to figure out what's actually irritating that nerve, because the fix depends on the why.
Signs we can help with
Sciatica often shows up as:
- Sharp or burning pain travelling down the back of the leg
- Numbness, tingling, or 'pins and needles' in the leg or foot
- Pain that's worse with sitting, standing, or certain positions
- A leg that feels weak or heavy
- Low back discomfort alongside the leg symptoms
How we can help
We work to take pressure off the nerve and help you find positions and movements that calm things down, then gradually rebuild so you can sit, stand, and walk with confidence again. Some symptoms need a doctor's input too — if we spot signs that need a referral, we'll tell you straight.
What to expect at your first visit
We'll take a careful history, test how your back and leg are moving, and screen the nerve. You'll leave knowing what we think is going on and what the plan is — including what to do at home to settle a flare.
