Sciatica is one of the most miserable pain experiences — sharp, electric, and impossible to ignore. We treat it every week at our clinic, with Harrington Park clients often coming in after weeks of disrupted sleep.
Our assessment for Harrington Park clients starts by working out where the irritation is coming from — disc, joint, piriformis, or referred pain mimicking sciatica. The treatment changes based on the answer.
Short drive from Harrington Park — popular for after-work appointments. We're roughly a 7-minute drive from Harrington Park. We also see clients from nearby Narellan, Gregory Hills, Smeaton Grange.
Immediately if you have loss of bladder/bowel control, saddle numbness, or progressive leg weakness. Otherwise, physio is a great first step.
Keep moving gently. Bed rest beyond 1–2 days actually slows recovery for most sciatica cases.
Physio can't 'reduce' a bulge, but most disc-related sciatica resolves with time and targeted rehab — the bulge often shrinks on its own.
Most cases improve significantly within 4–8 weeks of consistent treatment. Severe disc-related sciatica can take longer.
Usually no. MRI is only useful if symptoms aren't improving, you have leg weakness, or surgery is being considered.
