Physiotherapy for Sciatica in Burnaby: Stop Living With Pain

Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve is compressed, often by a herniated disc or muscle tension in the lower back. Physiotherapy targets the mechanical and muscular sources of compression, restoring movement and reducing inflammation. At BLVD Wellness and Recovery, your treatment plan may include:

‍

• Manual Therapy: Mobilizes stiff joints and relaxes muscles that irritate the nerve.
• Stretching & Strengthening Exercises: Addresses weak or overactive muscles around the lumbar spine and hips.
• Interferential Current Therapy (IFC): Reduces nerve irritation and inflammation.
• Shockwave Therapy: A focused acoustic wave that helps break down scar tissue and promote healing in sciatic-related muscle syndromes. Learn more about Shockwave Therapy
• Mechanical Traction: Helps decompress the lumbar spine and relieve pressure on spinal discs.
• Posture and Ergonomic Education: Reduces recurrence by improving how you move throughout the day.

Many patients experience lasting relief within 3–6 sessions. Rehab may also include long-term guidance for chronic lumbar radiculopathy or spine-related leg symptoms.
