Sciatica (Chronic Nerve Pain)

Causes and Risk Factors:

• Herniated or bulging discs
• Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spine)
• Piriformis syndrome (tight muscle pressing on the nerve)
• Poor posture or prolonged sitting
• Weak core and back muscles
• Heavy lifting or sudden movements

What Happens If Left Untreated?

Without care, sciatica (chronic nerve pain) can lead to long-term leg pain, numbness, muscle weakness, limited mobility, and difficulty doing daily tasks like walking, standing, or climbing stairs.

How Premier Care Can Help:

• Manual Therapy: Reduces nerve pressure and relaxes tight muscles
• Therapeutic Exercises: Strengthens the back and improves posture
• Stretching & Mobility Work: Increases flexibility and reduces flare-ups
• Gait and Movement Training: Helps restore safe, natural movement
• Pain Relief Techniques: Uses modalities like ice, heat, or electrical stimulation
