What Is Sciatica?

Sciatica is pain caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve — the longest nerve in the body, running from the lower back through the buttocks and down each leg. It is most commonly caused by a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, or piriformis syndrome. The pain can be sharp, burning, or electric, and is often accompanied by numbness, tingling, or weakness in the leg.

Many sciatica cases respond very well to physiotherapy without the need for injections or surgery. Dr. Rizam Shaar identifies the exact source of nerve irritation and uses targeted techniques to relieve pressure and restore function.

How We Treat Sciatica

• Lumbar decompression exercises and nerve mobilization (neural flossing)
• Manual therapy to restore spinal mobility and reduce disc pressure
• Core and hip strengthening to stabilize the lumbar spine long-term
• Postural and ergonomic education to prevent recurrence
