Help for Sciatica in Victoria
That sharp, shooting pain down your leg is more than a nuisance. It is often a sign of sciatica, a condition that can affect how comfortably you move, sit, and sleep. Sciatica happens when the sciatic nerve, the longest nerve in your body, becomes irritated or compressed. This can be caused by spinal misalignment, disc changes, or tight muscles in the lower back or hips. It may lead to tingling, numbness, or burning sensations that radiate down one leg and sometimes reach all the way to the foot.
Why Sciatica Happens
Many people experience sciatica after years of poor posture, repetitive strain, or prolonged sitting. It can also occur after a sudden injury, such as a fall or lifting something heavy with improper form. For others, subtle imbalances in spinal alignment or muscle tension can slowly place pressure on the sciatic nerve and cause recurring discomfort.
Whatever the cause, sciatica can interfere with your daily life, making even simple movements challenging. The good news is that with the right support and guidance, it is possible to address the source of irritation and restore natural function.
Restoring Comfort and Movement
Victoria chiropractor Dr. Amar Sandhu and his team take a movement-based approach to helping people overcome sciatic pain and get back to the activities they love. With advanced training in Chiropractic BioPhysics (CBP®), Active Release Techniques (ART®), and Graston® Therapy, he carefully assesses spinal alignment, posture, and muscle balance to pinpoint the underlying sources of nerve irritation.
When we improve the way your spine moves and functions, you can experience relief that lasts—not just a temporary fix,” explains Dr. Sandhu
Care may include gentle spinal adjustments to ease pressure on the sciatic nerve, targeted muscle release to restore flexibility, and customized exercises that support healthy posture and gait. For more complex cases, Dr. Sandhu may recommend traction therapy or spinal to help patients rebuild strength and confidence step by step.
