Are you searching for sciatica relief? Disc herniations frequently cause pressure on the nerve, causing pain and inflammation of the sciatic nerve, resulting in sciatica. Sciatica (also known as lumbar radiculopathy) affects the nerves that exit the lower back and travel down the leg (L4-S3). (Femoral nerve radiculopathy in the front of the leg is far less common.) Sciatica can be crippling. In most cases, seeking help early is the key to resolving the problem quickly. Finding relief alone can be difficult, and doing nothing can worsen or prolong the symptoms. Fortunately, physical therapy at Connections Physical Therapy in Acton, Westwood, North Grafton, Harvard, Holliston, Leominster, Mansfield, Medway, Millis, Oxford, Pepperell, Wellesley & Worcester, MA can provide you with immediate relief and the tools you need to experience long-term sciatica relief.
