What is Sciatica?

In our lumbar spine (lower back), you have two large nerves exiting on the right and left sides of your spinal column. These nerves are called sciatic nerves and they provide motor and sensory input to your legs. When a nerve is irritated or compressed near the spine, it leads to inflammation and tissue damage referred to as spinal nerve impingement and results in symptoms, including excruciating back pain.

Our approach

Low back pain is a fairly common problem affecting more than 70% of us and we experience it at least once in our lifetime. For many, this pain becomes a chronic issue.

At Riya Clinic our back pain patients get well and recover from their pain. We are able to get our patients better and lessen their pain while improving their functions. If you're one of those struggling with signs of sciatica or low back pain, you can get an initial physical therapy appointment with us and we can get to the bottom of your dysfunction and set you on the way to recovery.
