Get Back to Life Without Back Pain Holding You Back
Sciatica and nerve pain can affect much more than your back. Pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness may travel into your hip, leg, foot, shoulder, arm, or hand and make sitting, walking, working, sleeping, or exercising difficult.
At Lonestar Physical Therapy & Sports Performance, we take the time to understand your symptoms, how they affect your life, and what you want to get back to doing. Your Doctor of Physical Therapy will perform a comprehensive examination to help determine what may be contributing to your symptoms and create an individualized plan to help you move better and return to the activities that matter most.
Understanding Sciatica & Nerve Pain
Nerve related symptoms can occur when a nerve becomes irritated or sensitive somewhere along its path. Depending on the nerve involved, symptoms may include pain, burning, numbness, tingling, weakness, or changes in sensation.
Sciatica commonly describes symptoms that travel from the lower back or buttock into the leg. Similar nerve related symptoms can occur from the neck into the shoulder, arm, or hand. Because the location of your symptoms does not always tell us where the problem begins, a thorough examination is important.
Your Doctor of Physical Therapy will assess your movement, mobility, strength, neurologic function, and symptom behavior to better understand what may be contributing to your symptoms.
