Sciatica is one of the most miserable pain experiences — sharp, electric, and impossible to ignore. We treat it every week at our clinic, with Spring Farm clients often coming in after weeks of disrupted sleep.
Our assessment for Spring Farm 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.
A short drive up through Camden and Elderslie, with easy parking when you arrive. Locals know us as a quick trip from Spring Farm shops. We're roughly a 14-minute drive from Spring Farm. We also see clients from nearby Camden, Elderslie, Mount Annan.
Physio can't 'reduce' a bulge, but most disc-related sciatica resolves with time and targeted rehab — the bulge often shrinks on its own.
Keep moving gently. Bed rest beyond 1–2 days actually slows recovery for most sciatica cases.
Usually no. MRI is only useful if symptoms aren't improving, you have leg weakness, or surgery is being considered.
Most cases improve significantly within 4–8 weeks of consistent treatment. Severe disc-related sciatica can take longer.
Immediately if you have loss of bladder/bowel control, saddle numbness, or progressive leg weakness. Otherwise, physio is a great first step.
