The keys to finding sciatica relief with 2 physical therapists

Dr. Emily Warren, PT, DPT is a fellow physical therapist here in Utah and specializes in helping patients with pain related to their spine.
Today on the "Adventuring with Osteoarthritis" Podcast we discussed sciatica, a common injury many people with osteoarthritis face. Sciatic nerve pain can have many different sources and it's important to understand where your pain might be coming from. There are some considerations when it comes to treatment as well as preventing it from coming back. One of the most common symptoms of sciatica is pain down your leg but it can actually come from different sources.
In this episode, two physical therapists discussed:
1. What are some of the causes of sciatica pain
2. Why movement is incredibly important for pain relief and prevention
3. What to consider when trying to move with sciatica pain

You both are awesome. Thank you for this video! Have lumbar OA and have been learning to live with it. Life is not what it was but learning to embrace this new stage. Swimming is my physical and mental therapy. Thank you!

Flexion and extension are a no no for me….spondy at L4/5 but horrible sciatic type symptoms. Cant even walk today…..(Labrum hip tears, meniscal tears). All old runner injuries, gym rat (CrossFit) at age 60 and now cant do anything. Grade II on spondy. Help???? Alyssa in your videos, do you ever go over a spondylolisthesis and spinal stenosis??

So excited to find you both on KZbin!

[@arthritisadventure]

I'm glad you found it too! Welcome to the channel.

Thanks so much for addressing both Hip OA and Sciatic Nerve Pain. I’m doing well with the hips just can’t rid myself of Sciatic. Thanks for hope in dealing with both.❤

[@arthritisadventure]

absolutely!

[@AnneGoodwin-nq1xu]

Very informative wish I was in utah!

[@arthritisadventure]

Glad you liked the information. Utah is beautiful to visit.

[@michellepipkin6752]

I've been having alot of these symptoms and just started having the pain more at the top 🙃 and I'm struggling with osteoarthritis in both hips and knees an one ankle an it all started in my lower back. But seems the more I try exercises I tend to make things worse 😭

[@susannahcollingwood7395]

I agree. I’ve had both hips replaced, and am waiting for a back-decompression for sciatica. My knees hurt a lot until I had my hips replaced.

[@alejandrarivera1087]

Same here 😢

[@carolewright6474]

What about the puppets on the string (moving properly through the feet) as to access the rest of the knee/hip structure !

[@carmensm8]

What about anterolistezis degenerativ L4-L5? Can you recommend some exercises? Best wishes!

[@christinewilliamson4325]

How should one address sciatica originating from SI Joint issues that only arose after disc L3-L4 herniation? There is some arthritis in the joint. I've spent thousands on PT that has mainly focused on core, back, glute, abductor & adductor strengthening, but not beneficial movements. Help...
