What Is Back Pain and What Is Sciatica?
Back pain describes discomfort in the spine or surrounding muscles. Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve becomes irritated, which can cause pain, tingling, or weakness that travels from the lower back into the hip, leg, or foot. Both conditions respond well to a structured plan that restores mobility and strength.
Common Causes and Symptoms
Typical causes include sprains or strains, disc irritation, spinal stenosis, arthritis, poor lifting mechanics, prolonged sitting, and repetitive tasks at work.
You may notice:
- Dull ache or sharp pain in the lower back
- Pain that travels into the buttock, thigh, or calf
- Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the leg
- Stiffness after sitting or first thing in the morning
- Pain with bending, lifting, or twisting
How Physiotherapy Helps Back Pain and Sciatica
Your physiotherapist at Aldergrove Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation Centre will complete a detailed assessment of movement, strength, and nerve tension. We set clear goals, then create a plan that addresses the cause of your symptoms. Treatment may include:
- Manual therapy to improve joint and soft tissue mobility
- Targeted exercises to strengthen the core and hips
- Nerve gliding and mobility work for sciatic symptoms
- Posture and movement coaching for work and daily tasks
- Education on activity pacing and flare-up management
When helpful, our team may integrate complementary care: - Kinesiology for graded strength and work-specific conditioning
- Massage therapy for muscle tension and trigger points
- Acupuncture for pain modulation and relaxation

Prolonged rest can lead to stiffness, weakness, and slower recovery. Early assessment and progressive loading help tissues heal, improve confidence in movement, and reduce the chance of recurrence. Our approach emphasizes safe activity, not avoidance, so you return to daily life with better control and less pain.
