Sciatica Treatment Dubai—Fisio

Welcome to Fisio—your one-stop physiotherapy center in Dubai, where we provide specialized treatment for sciatica through modern techniques combined with cutting-edge technology, with a holistic and focused approach designed to deliver maximum results. Like all our treatments, our sciatica treatment is also tailored to individual needs, with personalized plans for highly targeted results for each patient.

What is sciatica?

Sciatica is a condition characterized by pain that arises along the length of the sciatic nerve, which extends from the lower back to both legs through the hips and buttocks. The causes for this pain could be multiple, including but not limited to spinal stenosis (an abnormal narrowing of the spinal canal or neural foramen that results in pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots), herniated disk, spondylolisthesis, and piriformis syndrome.

Symptoms of Sciatica

The symptoms for sciatica could be multiple, including but not limited to:

  • Numbness or tingling in the foot
  • Sharp, burning pain in the leg or foot
  • Weakness in the leg or foot
  • Progressively worse pain when sitting or standing
  • Burning with urination or blood in urine
  • Pain that worsens when you lie down
  • Pain that increases when sneezing, coughing, or sudden movement
  • Pain sensations that feel like electric shocks

 

Simple Tests to Diagnose Whether You Have Sciatica

Some of the most common telltale signs that tell you have sciatica include:

  • Weakness when bending the knee
  • Difficulty walking on toes
  • Difficulty bending forward or backward
  • Loss of sensation or numbness in your legs, groin, or other parts down your legs
  • Difficulty bending the leg inward
  • Pain lifting the leg straight up

 

Unless and until the symptoms are too severe, our therapists at Fisio or your personal healthcare professional will prescribe you performing a few tests that could include MRI, X-ray, and other imaging tests of your spine, along with some necessary blood tests to ensure there are no other underlying conditions causing the pain.

Sciatica Treatment by Physiotherapy in Dubai

There are a number of treatments for sciatica available in Dubai. Depending on your needs, your medical professional might prescribe you medication for pain relief, epidural injections, or recommend physical therapy, lifestyle modifications, or manual therapy. While the first two are completely out of our domain, what we offer our clients are top-notch physiotherapy treatments that encompass a combination of manual therapy, physical exercises, and lifestyle modifications to reduce pressure on your sciatic nerve.

How Fisio Provides the Best Sciatica Treatment by Physiotherapy

1. Expert Physiotherapists

All our physiotherapists are highly qualified and experienced, familiar with all the modern techniques required to relieve sciatica symptoms and restore your pain-free mobility. With manual treatments and exercises completely focused on key areas, we make sure you get the exact results you were looking for.

2. Personalized Treatment Plan

There’s no one-size-fits-all treatment when it comes to sciatica, given the fact that every person suffers with different severity. That being said, we provide a personalized treatment for each of our patients after thorough individual assessment, recommending targeted exercises that align with the severity of your symptoms. As we make your plan, we take into consideration things like your posture, daily activities, and work-related stress, making sure the plan fits seamlessly in your lifestyle without disrupting your routine.

3. Advanced Techniques

We offer our patients a holistic treatment that blends evidence-based exercises and physical therapies with modern treatments such as electrotherapy, dry cupping, and shock wave therapy. This, when combined with our sciatic nerve manipulation techniques and advanced strengthening and stretching exercises, forms an end-to-end treatment that addresses the root cause of the condition. We also conduct regular monitoring to adjust the treatment over time to ensure optimal recovery.

4. Convenient and Supportive Care

Conditions like sciatica require more than one session, a lot of times several—to be treated effectively. This can be hard for some people to adjust to in their busy days. We understand this well and provide flexible scheduling to all our clients, making sure all your appointments are fixed on a day and date that’s convenient for you and us. Our ultimate goal is to provide everyone patient-centered care that makes their healing journey easier.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it better for me to rest or to exercise for my sciatica?+

While it’s recommended to avoid stressful or painful activities, some exercises can actually help relieve pressure on your sciatic nerve and reduce pain and inflammation. Have a consultation with one of our physiotherapists at Fisio for an exercise plan that actually helps with sciatica.

What triggers sciatica? +

Sciatica happens when a herniated disc or overgrown bone pinches the sciatic nerve or narrows its path. Things that can trigger sciatic pain include excessive weight gain or sitting for an extended period of time. Other things that can trigger the condition include high blood sugar levels and jobs that involve lifting heavy loads.

How long does sciatica take to go away?+

This depends on whether you have acute sciatica or chronic sciatica. Acute sciatica can be treated with good exercises, lifestyle modifications, and medication within a few weeks. However, if you have chronic sciatica, it can take a few months for it to subside. It’s best to talk to a medical professional to see what kind of treatment will work for you and whether you have acute or chronic sciatica.

Is walking good for sciatica? +

Absolutely! Since you cannot do any heavy exercises or strenuous activities with sciatica, and too much rest can aggravate the condition, having a walk every now and then will help open your nerves without putting too much weight on the body. Moreover, walking also makes the body release endorphins, which helps with fighting pain and reducing inflammation.

What is the best treatment for sciatica? +

It depends on the severity of the condition. Your healthcare professional can recommend a combination of treatments that could include medication, painkillers, and physiotherapy, along with some lifestyle changes. In most cases, physiotherapy along with medication helps treat sciatica effectively. However, in extreme conditions, it might even require surgery to effectively treat sciatica.
