Back Pain & Sciatica in Fresh Meadows
Back Pain & Sciatica in Fresh Meadows
If you wake up with back pain or experience discomfort in your back, buttocks, or legs, physical therapy could help.
Conditions like back pain or sciatica, often caused by issues such as herniated discs or nerve compression, can result in radiating pain, numbness, or tingling.
Unlike medications, physical therapy addresses the root cause to provide lasting relief without the risks associated with opioids or surgery.
How can physical therapy relieve my back pain or sciatica?
Back pain and sciatica are treatable with physical therapy. At first, your therapist will focus on relieving pain. As symptoms ease, therapy will shift to core strengthening, flexibility, and teaching you proper posture and movement habits to avoid future injury. If you're dealing with sciatica, specific stretches will be included to help release pressure on the sciatic nerve and speed up recovery.
How do I know whether I’m experiencing back pain or sciatica?
Back pain can result from injuries, poor posture, or conditions like herniated or degenerative discs. Sciatica is a specific type of back pain caused by irritation of the sciatic nerve, leading to sharp or burning pain from the lower back down to the legs.
It’s most common in people aged 30–50 and often caused by tight muscles, arthritis, or spinal issues. Physical therapy can help diagnose and treat both conditions effectively.

How does balance and gait therapy work?
We begin with a gait and balance assessment to identify any issues with posture or muscle strength. This helps guide your personalized therapy plan.
Common causes of balance problems include weak hips, ankles, and poor posture. To address these, we use targeted exercises such as seated leg lifts, knee marching, single-leg stands, heel-to-toe walking, and visual tracking with your eyes and thumb.
