Treatment of sciatica complaints
Treatment for sciatica depends on the specific cause of the inflammation or pressure on the nerve pathway. Most back complaints with radiating buttock and/or leg pain recover in the first three months. In 80 to 90 percent of cases, the cause is a herniated disc, but sciatica can also be the result of spinal stenosis or slipping of a vertebra (spondylolisthesis). Other factors can also cause sciatica. After determining the cause of the complaints, a suitable treatment plan can be drawn up together with you. Fysioplein helps reduce pain faster, improve mobility and regain control of your back.
Revalidation
If necessary, you will be treated by a manual therapist. In addition to manual therapy, time is also spent on (homework) exercises. They improve the load-bearing capacity of the back.
Intake
During the intake, your low back problem (sciatica complaint) is mapped out on the basis of an interview and a physical examination.
Treatment plan
After the intake, a treatment plan is drawn up and discussed. It tells you what the best treatment is for you.
Treatment
If you have sciatica complaints, you will be treated according to one of our care plans. This care plan has been specially developed for people with these back problems and shows good results.
Measuring moments
Tests are taken at fixed times and questionnaires are completed to monitor your rehabilitation. The outcome is evaluated and the treatment plan adjusted if necessary.
Treatments during rehabilitation for sciatica
If necessary, you will be treated using manual therapy, the Mulligan concept or exercise therapy. Dry needling is also one of the treatment options. Your treating physiotherapist will discuss with you what the best treatment option is for your complaint. Part of the treatment consists of information and homework exercises to get your back complaints under control again and to optimize the load capacity of the back.
Rehabilitation in sciatica complaints
If manual therapy or Mulligan concept or dry needling is chosen, this is always supported by homework exercises to optimize the load capacity of the back and prevent recurrence of back problems.
