Sciatica is one of the most miserable pain experiences — sharp, electric, and impossible to ignore. We treat it every week at our clinic, with Wetherill Park clients often coming in after weeks of disrupted sleep.
Most Wetherill Park clients notice meaningful change within 2–3 sessions. If you're not improving, we'll be honest and discuss imaging or a GP review rather than dragging you back forever.
Industrial-zone injuries are our daily bread — lifting strains, crush injuries, and post-surgical hands & shoulders. Locals know us as a quick trip from Stockland Wetherill Park and Wetherill Park Industrial Estate. We're roughly a 18-minute drive from Wetherill Park. We also see clients from nearby Bossley Park, Prairiewood, Horsley Park.
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.
