For Wrentham, MA residents, sciatic pain can quickly turn everyday routines — getting out of bed, sitting at work, walking around town — into uncomfortable reminders that something isn’t right. Sciatica’s hallmark shooting pain, tingling, or numbness radiating from the lower back through the hip and down the leg points to irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve. Left unaddressed, this nerve pain can affect sleep, work, and the activities you love most. The good news: most cases of sciatica respond well to a thoughtful, hands-on physical therapy program — no medication or surgery required.
At PhysioHealth Physical Therapy in North Attleboro — just a short drive from Wrentham — sciatica care starts with a comprehensive evaluation by Dr. Christopher Gomes, DPT, OCS, CSCS, a board-certified orthopedic physical therapist with deep expertise in spine and lower back conditions. We look at the whole kinetic chain — spine, hips, glutes, and hamstrings — because sciatic pain is rarely about one structure alone. From there, your plan combines targeted nerve glides, core and glute strengthening, hands-on techniques such as Graston and the McKenzie Method, and posture and movement coaching so the relief actually lasts after you leave.
What makes care here different is the personalization. Every appointment is personalized to your specific case. Whether your pain flared after a long drive, a weekend of yard work, or has been building for years, your program is shaped around your body, your goals, and what’s been working (or hasn’t) for you so far. You’ll also leave each visit with a clear understanding of what’s driving your symptoms and exactly what to do between sessions to keep progress moving.
If you’re ready to stop working around sciatic pain, the team at PhysioHealth Physical Therapy is just a short trip from Wrentham. Reach out today to schedule an evaluation and take the first step toward lasting relief.
