Are you experiencing sharp, burning pain along one side of your hips, buttocks, or legs? You might be dealing with sciatica, a condition caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve. Fortunately, the expert physiotherapists at Mawaddah Fisioterapi in Kuala Selangor can help identify the root cause of your sciatica and develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Sciatica is a common yet potentially debilitating condition that affects approximately 30-40% of adults at some point in their lives. It often presents as pain, numbness, or tingling radiating down the back of the leg. This discomfort can range from mild to severe and, in some cases, may also cause muscle weakness or difficulty moving the affected leg.
If left untreated, sciatica can significantly impact your daily life, making it hard to enjoy leisure activities, complete household tasks, or perform work duties. Let the experienced team at Mawaddah Fisioterapi help you get back on your feet with effective and compassionate care.
Sciatica is often misunderstood. People frequently use the term “sciatica” to refer to any pain in the lower limbs, but it specifically refers to pain brought on by issues with the sciatic nerve. Originating in the lower back, the sciatic nerve extends down the legs to the feet, and its affliction typically manifests as pain on the back or side of one leg.
For this reason, an accurate diagnosis is crucial to effective sciatica treatment. Our expert physical therapists will use a combination of patient history, physical assessments, and imaging studies to identify the underlying cause of sciatic pain.
At Mawaddah Fisioterapi in Kuala Selangor we use a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to physical therapy to address the root cause of sciatica and alleviate its symptoms, fostering lasting relief and restoring function. Our results-oriented treatment approach will help you overcome pain, regain mobility, and reclaim control of your health and fitness.

Sciatica is not a medical issue in and of itself but a potential symptom of several different conditions, including herniated discs, bone spurs from degenerative changes, or injury. When these conditions irritate or trigger inflammation in the sciatic nerve, it leads to sciatica.
The physical therapists at Mawaddah Physiotherapy at Kuala Selangor will help you identify which condition is causing your sciatica, then provide treatment to address it while also helping you manage your pain. We want you to see results, which means addressing your pain at the source.
Here are some common conditions that can trigger sciatica or sciatica-like pain:
Lumbar Herniated Disc: The most common cause of sciatica, a herniated disc, occurs when the soft, cushioning material between the vertebrae ruptures or bulges, compressing the nearby sciatic nerve.
Piriformis Syndrome: The piriformis muscle, located deep in the buttock region, can become tight or spasm, irritating the sciatic nerve.
Spondylolisthesis: This condition occurs when a vertebra in the lower spine slips forward, potentially compressing the sciatic nerve. Although rare, if the slippage progresses past a certain level, surgery is required to stabilize and prevent a worsening of the condition.
Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction: Irritation or inflammation of the sacroiliac joint, where the spine meets the pelvis, can lead to sciatic-like pain.
Lumbar Spinal Stenosis: This condition occurs when the spinal canal narrows, which can compress the nerves there, including the sciatic nerve. However, spinal stenosis usually affects both legs, whereas sciatica typically only affects one.
While most people recover from sciatica, multiple episodes are not uncommon–and, unfortunately, the pain tends to worsen each time you experience another episode. That’s why the results-oriented approach at Mawaddah Physiotherapy is an effective treatment option. By addressing the source of your pain, we can prevent future flare-ups.
We’re committed to providing you with research-backed tools to alleviate your pain and reduce the likelihood of future recurrences so you can get back to a healthy, active lifestyle free from pain.

When you come in for treatment, our Mawaddah Physiotherapy team will conduct a thorough physical examination to assess your range of motion, identify weaknesses, pinpoint the location and nature of your pain, and evaluate your symptoms and limitations.

We pull from several different evidence-based treatment approaches to address your current pain and its cause. Your treatment will be customized based on the condition causing your sciatic pain and any other needs you might have.
If a herniated disc is causing your sciatica,we’ll use a combination of manual therapy, stretching, strengthening, mobility work, posture, and body mechanic modifications to alleviate pressure, relieve pain, and restore normal function.
If spondylolisthesis is causing your sciatica,we’ll design a customized exercise program to stabilize the spine, improve core strength, and emphasize the steps needed to reduce pain and restore function.
If piriformis syndrome is causing your sciatica,we’ll focus on targeted mobility work and strengthening exercises to relax the piriformis muscle, helping to reduce pain.
If you’re struggling with sacroiliac joint dysfunction,we’ll address this dysfunction through manual therapy, tailored exercises, and postural adjustments to relieve pain and improve joint mobility.
If you’re struggling with spinal stenosis,we’ll utilize mobility exercises, strength training, and coordination exercises to reduce symptoms and improve overall function.
