Sciatica is one of the most common causes of lower back pain and leg pain. Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve becomes irritated or compressed, causing pain that travels from the lower back into the buttock and down the leg. At Realign Chiro Physio & Rehab, we provide sciatica treatment in Langley using physiotherapy, chiropractic care, massage therapy, spinal decompression therapy, and active rehabilitation to reduce nerve irritation and help you recover.
Sciatica can be caused by several conditions including herniated discs, bulging discs, spinal stenosis, and piriformis syndrome, which is why proper diagnosis and treatment are important.
Common Symptoms of Sciatica
Sharp pain traveling down one leg
Burning or electric shock sensations
Numbness or tingling in the leg or foot
Lower back stiffness or tightness
Pain worse with sitting or driving
Weakness in the leg or foot
Difficulty standing or walking comfortably
If these symptoms sound familiar, early treatment can significantly speed recovery.
Sciatica refers to irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, the largest nerve in the body, which travels from the lower spine through the hips and down each leg.
Rather than being a condition itself, sciatica is usually a symptom caused by:
Disc bulges or herniations
Joint dysfunction in the lumbar spine
Muscle tightness or piriformis syndrome
Spinal stenosis
Poor posture or prolonged sitting
Workplace or sports injuries
Sciatic pain can range from mild discomfort to sharp, shooting pain that affects daily life
Common sciatica symptoms include:
Sciatica pain often travels down one leg and may worsen with sitting or bending.

This is why a proper assessment is important to determine the exact cause of your sciatica.
We combine multiple therapies because sciatic pain rarely comes from one source alone. Your plan is tailored based on your symptoms, movement findings, and goals.
Physiotherapy focuses on restoring movement control and reducing nerve sensitivity. Treatment may include:
Check out our Physiotherapy in Langley which helps address the underlying cause to reduce recurrence.
Chiropractic treatment improves spinal mechanics and reduces pressure affecting irritated nerves. Care may involve:
Massage therapy is valuable when muscle tension contributes to sciatic symptoms. Benefits include:
Spinal decompression Langley is very effective for sciatica caused by disc injuries and spinal stenosis. Decompression helps reduce pressure on the sciatic nerve and discs.
At Realign Chiro Physio & Rehab, we perform a full assessment to determine what is causing your sciatica. This includes range of motion testing, neurological testing, strength testing, posture assessment, and movement testing.
Proper diagnosis is important to determine whether your sciatica is caused by a disc injury, spinal stenosis, or piriformis syndrome, as treatment will be different for each condition.
| Condition | Symptoms | Treatment |
|---|---|---|
| Sciatica | Leg pain | Chiro, Physio |
| Herniated disc | Sharp leg pain | Chiro, Physio, Decompression |
| Spinal stenosis | Pain when walking | Chiro, Physio, Decompression |
| Piriformis syndrome | Buttock pain | Physio, Massage |
Many patients experience recurring flare-ups because care focuses only on short-term symptom relief. At Realign, we assess and correct contributors such as core stability deficits, hip mobility restrictions, sitting posture habits, workplace ergonomics, and muscle activation patterns. Correcting these factors reduces recurrence risk and supports long-term spine and nerve health.
Sciatica can develop after motor vehicle accidents, workplace lifting injuries, slip-and-fall incidents, or sudden twisting movements. Our team provides coordinated rehabilitation and clear guidance to help you return to work and activity safely. We provide therapy for ICBC injury and WorkSafeBC injuries in Langley.
