Physiotherapy treatment of sciatica: rehabilitation proposal

Musorrofiti M

Roma, Italia

ciatica is a medical condition characterised by pain that originates in the lumbar region and extends down the posterior

lateral aspect of the leg, often radiating to the foot or ankle. Various symptoms, such us numbness or paraesthesia, can

accompany pain across the effected nerve root. Lumbar nerve root pain is usually caused from a prolapsed intervertebral disc

or from spinal stenosis. This results in irritation or compression to the sciatic nerve which is often followed by referred leg

symptoms. Many individuals with sciatica demonstrate an altered gait pattern with antalgic fees and psychological implications

that hinder the recovery. The aim of our therapeutic plan is to reduce patients pain scores and disability and correct altered

gait patterns through the use of various physical therapy interventions in patients with sciatica. We use advanced physical

therapies and a specialist equipment for spinal decompression, the Dynamic Antigravitational Postural System (SPAD) from

the University of Chieti “Gabriele d’Annunzio”.
