Sciatica
Care for radiating leg symptoms related to lumbar and nerve irritability.
Overview
Sciatica-type symptoms need careful screening. Many people improve with guided rehab; some need medical review.
Not all leg pain is ‘a slipped disc story’. Assessment decides the plan.
Red flags need medical care first.
Who may seek help
People with radiating leg pain, tingling or related mobility limits after assessment for red flags.
Common concerns
- Radiating leg pain
- Worse with sitting
- Walking limited by symptoms
How physiotherapy may help
Education, graded movement and load strategies suited to symptom behaviour.
When to seek urgent care
Sudden severe symptoms, unexplained neurological changes, chest pain, or trauma with red-flag signs need emergency / medical services — not a website booking form.
FAQs
Do I need a referral?
Many patients book directly. If you have recent medical advice or imaging, bring it to your first visit.
Is recovery guaranteed?
No. Physiotherapy supports recovery and function, but outcomes vary by condition, history and adherence to the plan.
Can I book home or online care?
Yes, where clinically suitable and where Physio KARE can service your location. Online care is not appropriate for every condition.
