Sciatica causes radiating pain that often makes sitting and walking agonizing. Our Chantilly, VA sciatica specialists use targeted treatments to relieve nerve compression and inflammation for patients across Fairfax and Herndon.
The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the body, and when it becomes irritated—whether by a herniated lumbar disc, piriformis syndrome, or spinal stenosis—it can cause sharp, shooting pain that travels from the lower back through the hip and down the back of the leg.
At Nova Prime Physical Therapy, we focus on 'centralizing' your pain using evidence-based techniques like the McKenzie Method and nerve gliding. We also address the structural and muscular imbalances that contribute to nerve irritation, combining manual therapy to improve mobility with core stabilization to protect the spine.
Sitting increases pressure on the lumbar discs and can compress the sciatic nerve. Frequent standing breaks and specific postural corrections can help.
The vast majority of sciatica cases resolve with conservative physical therapy. We focus on non-invasive decompression techniques that often provide significant relief.
While rare, prolonged severe compression should be monitored. We track your sensation and strength closely to ensure safe and effective recovery.
