Typical Symptoms:
Common Causes:
We tailor therapy to decompress irritated nerve roots, using traction or specific exercises (e.g., McKenzie) for disc issues. Manual therapy and targeted stretching can address piriformis-related sciatic pain. At Be On The Move, we encounter sciatica from various triggers among patients in Boynton Beach, Boca Raton, Lake Worth, and Wellington. If the root cause is a lumbar disc bulge, we might use repeated extension exercises or gentle spinal mobilization. If the piriformis muscle is compressing the sciatic nerve, we introduce targeted stretches and myofascial release. We also educate you on avoiding positions that aggravate the nerve and show you how to safely perform bending and lifting. Over time, our goal is to restore pain-free movement and minimize the risk of future flare-ups.

Key Benefits:
Many sciatica cases improve significantly within 4–6 weeks with consistent therapy. Chronic or severe disc issues may require a longer approach. As we monitor your symptoms and mobility, we’ll gradually introduce stability exercises for your core and hips, ensuring that once your pain subsides, your body remains strong and resilient to prevent relapses.
Should I keep moving or rest with sciatica?
Complete bed rest is discouraged. Gentle movements and guided exercises typically promote faster recovery.
Will I need surgery?
Most patients do not need surgery. If you don’t improve or have severe nerve involvement, surgical options may be considered.
Is your pain keeping you from fully enjoying your day?
Do you wish it would just disappear, but it continues to trouble you?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, we understand how frustrating and overwhelming persistent pain can be. That’s why we’re here to help. Our caring team of physical therapists will listen to your concerns, create a custom treatment plan just for you, and work by your side every step of the way—so you can get back to living life on your terms.
