Evidence-based treatment protocol for sciatica

Our sciatica protocol combines the six most evidence-supported interventions in the peer-reviewed physiotherapy literature. Each is progressed based on your objective outcome measures, not guesswork.

Neural mobilisation & sciatic-nerve gliders

Restores nerve mobility along the L4-S3 tract without compressing already-inflamed roots.

Interferential Therapy (IFT)

4-quadrant electrode placement reduces radicular pain within 2-3 sessions.

McKenzie extension protocol

Directional-preference exercises centralise pain from leg back to spine — evidence-based first-line.

Dry-needling of piriformis + gluteus minimus

Releases the exact myofascial trigger points that mimic sciatic pain in 20-30% of cases.

Core-stability + hip-hinge retraining

Prevents recurrence — most sciatica returns because of poor lifting mechanics.

Lifestyle & ergonomic modification

Chair, mattress, driving-seat, and desk-setup adjustments patients can apply the same day.

Objective outcome measures we track

Every fifth session we re-measure the following validated instruments and share the trajectory with you. This is what evidence-based physiotherapy looks like — not vibes.

Sciatica physiotherapy in Bangalore — patient FAQs

How many physiotherapy sessions does sciatica need in Bangalore?

Median 6-8 sessions over 3-4 weeks for uncomplicated lumbar-disc sciatica at Pro Physiotherapy. Piriformis-syndrome sciatica typically resolves in 3-5 sessions. Chronic sciatica (over 3 months) needs 10-14 sessions plus a home-exercise programme.

What is the cost of sciatica physiotherapy in Bangalore?

Clinic sessions ₹800, home visits ₹1,100 (higher because we bring portable IFT + neural-mobilisation equipment). 8-session sciatica package ₹7,200 (save ₹800). All prices GST-inclusive with ICD-10 code M54.3 on the invoice for insurance reimbursement.

Do I need an MRI before starting sciatica physiotherapy in Bangalore?

No — a clinical exam (SLR test, dermatomal sensation, myotomal power) is enough for uncomplicated cases. MRI is only indicated if you have red flags (foot drop, bladder incontinence, saddle anaesthesia, unrelenting night pain) or fail to improve after 4 sessions.

Can physiotherapy avoid sciatica surgery in Bangalore?

Yes for most cases. 90% of lumbar-disc sciatica resolves with 8-12 weeks of structured physiotherapy — the same conclusion from the 2019 BMJ Cochrane review. Only 5-10% eventually need discectomy, and even those recover faster with pre-hab.

Who is the best physiotherapist for sciatica in Bangalore?

Dr Shaista Anjum, MPT (Gulf Medical University UAE) at Pro Physiotherapy JP Nagar leads our sciatica protocol. She has treated 300+ Bengaluru sciatica patients across 2024-2026. Book her directly on +91 89510 22334 (mention "sciatica with Dr Shaista").
