Sciatica Treatment (Pain Running Down the Leg)

Many people think sciatica is just lower back pain. In reality, it is nerve pain that often starts in the lower back and travels down the buttock, thigh, calf, or even the foot. Some people describe it as burning, shooting, tingling, or electric-like pain. Others experience numbness or weakness in one leg.

Sciatica happens when the sciatic nerve becomes irritated or compressed. This can happen because of disc problems, prolonged sitting, poor posture, muscle tightness, or age-related changes.

At Healing Space Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation, we focus on reducing pressure on the irritated nerve while helping your body move normally again.

Your treatment may include gentle exercises, mobility training, posture correction, muscle strengthening, and practical advice to support your recovery.

The goal is simple. We want to help you sit, stand, walk, drive, and sleep without constantly worrying about pain shooting down your leg.

Clinic appointments and home physiotherapy visits are available across Rawalpindi and Islamabad.
