Physio for neck and back pain FAQs
Can a physio help with sciatica?
Yes. Sciatica, which refers to pain radiating from the lower back into the leg along the sciatic nerve, responds well to physiotherapy in most cases. Treatment focuses on reducing nerve irritation, improving mobility, and addressing the underlying cause of the compression or irritation.
Is physioytherapy better than seeing a chiropractor for neck and back pain?
Physiotherapy and chiropractic care both have a role in treating neck and back pain, but physiotherapy takes a broader approach, combining manual therapy with exercise rehabilitation and education to address the root cause of your pain rather than providing symptomatic relief alone. For most people, physiotherapy delivers more sustainable long-term outcomes.
Can physiotherapy help with headaches caused by neck pain?
Yes. Cervicogenic headaches, those originating from the cervical spine rather than the brain, respond well to targeted neck physiotherapy. If your headaches are accompanied by neck stiffness or pain, a physio assessment is a worthwhile first step.
