Sciatica Treatment
Find Relief from Sciatic Pain and Get Back to Moving
Sciatica can make daily activity, training, and even sitting feel difficult. At Iron Health, we identify what's compressing or irritating your sciatic nerve, build a plan to address it directly, and help you work toward lasting relief and full movement.
Sciatica Rarely Resolves by Waiting It Out
Rest helps briefly, then symptoms return with activity
Avoiding movement can quiet sciatic pain short-term, but without addressing what's loading or irritating the nerve, symptoms return with everyday activity, extended sitting, or training.
Generic stretches don't address the source
Piriformis stretches and nerve flossing help some people, but sciatica driven by disc involvement, spinal stenosis, or joint dysfunction needs a more targeted approach to see lasting improvement.
The symptoms are starting to affect your entire routine
When sitting, walking, and training all trigger nerve symptoms, it becomes hard to know what's safe. Without a clear plan, people often restrict more activity than necessary and lose ground they don't need to.
Sciatica Treatment Built Around Root Cause, Not Just Symptoms
We evaluate what's driving your sciatic nerve symptoms, determine what's appropriate to address conservatively, and build a plan that works toward lasting relief so you can move, train, and sit without limitation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Sciatica raises a lot of questions. Here's what active adults ask most about sciatica treatment and physical therapy at Iron Health.
It depends on what's driving your symptoms and how long you've had them. Some people see significant improvement within a few weeks of focused treatment. After your evaluation, we'll give you a realistic timeline and clear milestones to track progress toward.
Yes, with the right guidance. We'll assess what's safe to do and what to modify during your plan. Most people can and should stay active during sciatica treatment. Appropriate movement is often part of the solution.
Physical therapy is one of the most effective conservative approaches for sciatica. It addresses the mechanical and strength factors contributing to nerve irritation, reduces symptoms, and builds the resilience to prevent recurrence without the risks of surgery or long-term medication reliance.
We're primarily cash-based and out-of-network for commercial plans, though we do accept Medicare. We provide superbills for possible reimbursement, and HSA/FSA cards are accepted.
If you're experiencing progressive weakness in the leg or foot, loss of bladder or bowel control, or symptoms following significant trauma, those are reasons to seek medical evaluation promptly. For most cases of sciatic pain without those red flags, physical therapy is an appropriate and effective first step.
