Sciatica is a pain which sharply radiates along the sciatic nerve, its often caused after nerve getting compressed and can significantly disrupt day to day life. Symptoms like pain, numbness, and weakness in the legs can be loss of strength or energy. Physiotherapy emerges as a highly effective less invasive treatment option for handling sciatic pain. This review paper analyzes the ability of physiotherapy instruments to cure the pain. The instruments which are mentioned in this paper are Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) to Ultrasound Therapy, Interferential Current Therapy (IFC), Shockwave Therapy, and Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT). By reviewing certain clinical trials and evidence, this paper aims to help healthcare professionals in deciding which is the most perfect approach for treating sciatic pain based on each persons need.

Abstract

Sciatica is a pain which sharply radiates along the sciatic nerve, its often caused after nerve getting compressed and can significantly disrupt day to day life. Symptoms like pain, numbness, and weakness in the legs can be loss of strength or energy. Physiotherapy emerges as a highly effective less invasive treatment option for handling sciatic pain. This review paper analyzes the ability of physiotherapy instruments to cure the pain. The instruments which are mentioned in this paper are Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) to Ultrasound Therapy, Interferential Current Therapy (IFC), Shockwave Therapy, and Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT). By reviewing certain clinical trials and evidence, this paper aims to help healthcare professionals in deciding which is the most perfect approach for treating sciatic pain based on each persons need.
