What is sciatica pain?

Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve is irritated, causing pain down the leg. Physiotherapists at MEX Physio treat sciatica using McKenzie extension-based therapy, Mulligan mobilizations, nerve gliding exercises, acupuncture, and dry needling, depending on the cause. Symptoms may include tingling, numbness, or weakness in the affected leg. With guided physiotherapy, most patients improve significantly within weeks (Fernández-de-Las-Peñas et al., 2021).
