Sciatica
Effective Sciatica Relief with Orion Physical Therapy
Sciatica, a condition that radiates pain from the lower back through the hips and down the legs, can disrupt nearly every aspect of life—from work to sleep to simple movements. At Orion Physical Therapy, Orion Wilson specializes in treating sciatica with a personalized, holistic approach to help alleviate pain, restore mobility, and improve your quality of life.
Why Does Sciatica Persist?
Sciatica pain typically originates from irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, often due to herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or muscle imbalances. Without targeted care, sciatica can linger, resulting in persistent discomfort and limitations. Here are some common contributors to sciatica pain:
- Disc Issues: A bulging or herniated disc can press against the sciatic nerve, leading to pain, tingling, or numbness down the leg.
- Muscle Imbalances: Weak or tight muscles around the spine and hips can strain the sciatic nerve, intensifying symptoms.
- Poor Posture and Movement Patterns: Prolonged sitting, improper lifting, and incorrect body mechanics can aggravate sciatica, making it challenging to find relief.
Comprehensive Treatment for Sciatica Pain
Orion Wilson uses a multi-faceted approach to address sciatica pain. Each program is customized to suit your specific needs, ensuring optimal results and long-term relief.
Detailed Assessment and Individualized Care Plan
We start with a thorough evaluation to pinpoint the source of your sciatica. Whether it’s from muscle tension, a disc problem, or poor posture, our assessment helps us create a plan that addresses the root cause.
Pain Relief Techniques
Initial treatment focuses on relieving pain and reducing inflammation. Gentle hands-on therapy, ice/heat application, and electrical stimulation can help ease discomfort and calm irritated nerves.
Targeted Stretching and Strengthening
Our program includes exercises to stretch the hamstrings, piriformis, and lower back muscles, relieving pressure on the sciatic nerve. We also incorporate strengthening exercises for the core and back to build a stable foundation for long-term relief.
Postural Correction and Movement Education
Improper posture and movement habits often contribute to sciatica. Orion teaches posture-improving techniques, ergonomic adjustments, and safe movement practices to prevent pain recurrence.
Mobility Restoration
As symptoms improve, we guide you through mobility exercises to increase range of motion in the hips, back, and legs. Enhanced flexibility helps you move comfortably and reduces the risk of reinjury.

★★★★★ 5/5
I got so lucky finding Orion. I literally chose him because he was the closest PT to my house. I had no idea how good he was! His level of personal service was outstanding! He contacted me several times in between appointments to check in on my well being. His technique was excellent and he pushed me as much as I was willing and then helped me to go a bit further to speed up my recovery. I couldn’t have been more happy with my experience. I strongly recommend him.

Very knowledgeable and articulate. I was concerned about my progress recovering after shoulder surgery despite regular therapy with another therapist, so i made an appointment with Dr. Orion. He listened intently and in a single session he was able find and correct several gaps in my current regiment and explained very clearly what I needed to do to optimize recovery. After the new stretches and exercises we went through I was able to make the most progress i’ve had in a single session! I highly recommend Dr. Orion to anyone.
