“How To Choose The Right Solution For Your Sciatica So You Can Get Back To Being Yourself & Doing The Activities You Love Without Needing Painkillers Or Risking Surgery”

If you’ve had sciatica for any length of time, you’re familiar with how difficult it may be to do simple things like sleep comfortably, sit for long periods, or walk. You may already know that frustrating feeling of not being able to focus on anything or anyone around you fully, because you’re distracted by pain. You might have started wondering how others have gotten rid of their sciatica, and if there’s a proven way to get lasting results.

If you’ve tried to fix your sciatica only for it to keep coming back leaving you feeling like you’ve wasted time on short-term solutions, it’s because most advice targets the symptoms of sciatica, but does nothing to help the root cause.

“I had already seen another PT for 3 months and was still having nerve pain before coming to DPT”

Most people with sciatica just want to know if there’s a solution that actually lasts. The frustrating thing about sciatica, is that many times people get relief, but they find that it comes back months later. What’s even more frustrating, is that the solutions that used to work, don’t work any longer. Eventually you find yourself in a rabbit hole, searching high and low for solutions that hopefully help you to avoid surgery. 

You’ve likely already tried many different things. Usually the list includes massage, stretching, chiropractic, different exercises, & giving up once again frustrated that you put all this time into it, and gotten nowhere.

A common experience is that each new thing you try, you may start to feel like you get some results, but sure enough, it comes back or you feel like you have to CONSTANTLY stretch or move around just to get some relief. 

Sciatica is so common because many of the solutions out there just take one area into consideration. The muscles, the joints, nerves, strength, weakness, etcetera. The simple truth is that sciatica is a complex condition with many contributing factors. The good thing though, is that the solution to most sciatica is a lot more simple once it’s understood and applied correctly. 

The core issue, which has been proven time and again in the best research, is that the body has developed compensation patterns in order to protect itself. These patterns are hardwired into the brain, and will continue to persist unless they are fixed. 

This pattern is what CAUSES the tight muscles, and the stiff joints. These tight muscles and stiff joints eventually pinch the nerve, causing sciatica. Therefore, correcting the pattern is the true root cause. If you want proof of this, look no further than the testimonials on our website and our Google listing from happy people who once had sciatica, and now they’re pain free. 

We understand that sciatica is frustrating, and that people have been told many different things about it, including that they have to stretch forever to keep it at bay. That’s why we created our Discovery Visit. It’s completely natural to be skeptical to try new things, and we wanted to create a way for people to meet our doctors, and learn about this effective approach to treating the root cause, WITHOUT any risk.

To apply for a DISCOVERY VISIT is simple. All you need to do is click the Application Button and fill out the form. If instead, you’d like to think about it, take our Sciatica guide, it’s full of simple tips you can start using today to get some relief.

“Why Do I Have Sciatica In The First Place…and How Do I Make It GO AWAY!?” 

Real solutions are hard to find. There is a lot of misinformation out there, and many of our clients tell us they searched for solutions for MONTHS before finding what works. 

Do you want to know why it takes so long to find a solution for sciatica?

If You’re Currently Living With Sciatica, Here Are 6 Reasons Why It May Be Lasting Longer Than It Should:

  1. You tried looking up exercises to do on your own for your sciatica. This is a fair strategy, but there are many “causes” of sciatica, and it’s difficult to figure out which exercises are right for you. This is why some exercises can seem to make it better, but some make it much worse.
  2. You tried a few relaxing massages and it felt good for a few days but then it came back. So you started getting more frequent massages, but the effects have gradually worn off.
  3. You tried chiropractic care and it eased a bit, but the nagging sensation is still there.
  4. You tried waiting for it to go away on its own. That didn’t work…
  5. You went to the doctor’s office, and they gave you pain meds or nerve medication to numb the pain. They told you to come back in 6 weeks if it didn’t work.
  6. You went to a physical therapist who put you on the same exercises everyone else with sciatica gets…then they left you with an assistant who only half watched your technique.

If any of these things have happened to you, unfortunately it’s common. The issue with a lot of these methods is that they focus on addressing the symptoms, not the root cause of your sciatica. 

Any time you get temporary results that relieve the pain, and then they come back, your body is trying to tell you something. It’s trying to tell you that you didn’t find the solution, you just put a temporary band-aid on it. 

For proof that most “solutions” don’t fix it, you don’t need to look any further than the opioid crisis in the USA. Along with increasing numbers of people addicted to pain pills, the number of spinal surgeries just keeps increasing. Would this be happening if we were actually solving anything with these methods? 

It’s understandable to want to solve it on your own, but it’s likely not the best way to avoid becoming one of the people who need those pills or surgeries. 

If any of this has happened to you, we would love to help you by inviting you to book a call with one of our specialist physical therapists in Scottsdale. We can help you find out what can be done to help you. 

You may be frustrated that you’ve already tried so many things. That’s a GOOD thing. When you know what doesn’t work, that puts you that much closer to finding the real solution. What we tell our clients is this: “What you have to be careful of is trying the same thing over and over and expecting different results…that’s insanity!” 

Click the orange button below to book a call with us if you would like some advice given to you over the phone. This is a complimentary, no obligation phone call. You are not required to book physical therapy with us once the call is over. Our goal is to help you make the right decision about your health. 

What Can I Do To Get Rid of My Sciatica Completely?”

Well, here are 4 things you can do. 

  1. First, you need to make a decision about getting help. So many people rest for weeks, thinking sciatica will “just go away with time”, but then 6 months later they’re still putting up with it, and nothing has changed…or it’s worse. Don’t let another week go by without living the life you want.
  2. Next, do the RIGHT exercises – One of the best things to help you ease the pain from your sciatica is to do the right series of progressed exercises. The right exercises given to you by a physical therapist and taught to you correctly, will help reduce the pain and allow you to start getting back to your life quickly. A good physical therapist will know how to progress these exercises to make sure the pain doesn’t come back any time soon.
  3. Avoid long periods of rest. The truth is, our bodies were designed to move. Certain activities right now might make your sciatica worse, but that doesn’t mean you should restrict all of your movements, because that can make your situation worse. If certain things are painful, like walking, lifting, sitting, it’s important to find the root cause and get you moving properly so you can continue staying active.
  4. Get real, “hands-on” customized treatment. Customized physical therapy treatment is proven to help people with sciatica. In fact, at The Doctors of PT, it’s one of the most common things we see people aged 30+ living with. If your sciatica is affecting your job, your sleep, your activity level – then it threatens your independence and gets in the way of spending quality time with family and friends. High-quality and customized treatment can help get you back to living the life you deserve as quickly as possible.
