Your Sciatica Isn’t the Problem… It’s What You’re Not Doing Yet

Sciatica isn’t just a “pinched nerve” or a mysterious leg pain that shows up after sitting too long. It’s a warning sign, a bright red flag that something in your body’s foundation is out of balance.

And here’s the truth most people miss: the pain isn’t the problem.

The problem is how your body’s moving… or more accurately, how it’s not.

At New York Manual Physical Therapy in Brooklyn, we work with sciatica patients every week, runners, office workers, parents, lifters all dealing with the same frustrating loop:

• Pain starts in the lower back or hip

  
  
  
  

• It shoots down the leg like lightning

  
  
  
  

• You feel better for a few days… until it comes back

• Doing more stretches with no pain reduction.

  
  
  
  

This isn’t recovery. It’s stalling.
