Sciatica Relief: How Physical Therapy Targets the Root Cause
Learn how physical therapy treats sciatica at the source — exercises, recovery time, costs, and when to see a PT in Miami Gardens, Miami Lakes, and Hialeah.
Sciatica is nerve pain that travels from the lower back down one leg, usually caused by a pinched or irritated sciatic nerve at the spine. Physical therapy relieves sciatica by treating the root cause — disc pressure, tight muscles, weak core support, or poor movement patterns — rather than just numbing the pain. Most patients in Miami Gardens, Miami Lakes, and Hialeah notice meaningful relief within 4–8 weeks of consistent, evidence-based physical therapy.
