Sciatic Treatment in Muscat, Oman

What Is Sciatica?

Sciatica refers to symptoms associated with irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve—the largest nerve in the body, originating from the lower lumbar spine and traveling down each leg. Symptoms may include sharp or burning pain, aching, tingling, numbness, or weakness that follows a nerve-related pattern rather than remaining localized to one area.

Importantly, sciatica is not a diagnosis on its own, but a clinical description of nerve-related pain that can result from a variety of spinal or musculoskeletal conditions.

Common Causes of Sciatic Pain

Sciatic symptoms can arise from several different mechanisms, including both spinal and soft-tissue contributors. Identifying the correct source is essential for effective care.

Disc-Related Conditions

Lumbar disc bulges, herniations, or degenerative disc changes may place pressure on nerve roots that form the sciatic nerve, leading to radiating leg pain.

Abnormal spinal curves, poor posture, or pelvic imbalance can increase mechanical stress on the lower spine and nerve pathways, contributing to chronic sciatic symptoms.

Spinal Alignment and Postural Stress

Muscle Tightness and Referred Pain

Tight or overactive muscles—such as the piriformis or deep hip muscles—may compress or irritate the sciatic nerve, causing symptoms that closely mimic disc-related sciatica without direct spinal nerve compression.

Joint and Movement Dysfunction

Restricted motion or instability in the lumbar spine, sacroiliac joints, or hips can alter load distribution and irritate nearby nerve structures over time.

Sciatica Symptoms

Sciatic pain may vary depending on the underlying cause and severity. Symptoms can include:

• Pain radiating from the lower back into the buttock or leg

• Sharp, shooting, burning, or electric-like sensations

• Tingling or numbness in the leg or foot

• Weakness in the leg or difficulty with prolonged sitting, standing, or walking

• Symptoms that worsen with bending, lifting, or prolonged posture

Symptoms may affect one or both sides and can range from mild and intermittent to persistent and limiting.

How Sciatica Is Evaluated at CBP Precision Spine Center

Sciatica evaluation at CBP Precision Spine Center in Muscat is designed to identify both the location of nerve irritation and the underlying structural or functional cause.

Assessment may include:

• Detailed clinical history and symptom mapping

• Postural and spinal alignment analysis

• Full orthopedic and neurological testing

• Range-of-motion and movement assessment

• Functional and biomechanical screening

• Diagnostic imaging when clinically appropriate

This comprehensive approach ensures care is directed at the true source of sciatic symptoms, not just pain relief.

When to Seek Sciatica Evaluation

A professional assessment is recommended if:

• Leg pain persists or worsens over time

• Numbness, tingling, or weakness is present

• Symptoms interfere with walking, sitting, or sleep

• Previous care has provided only temporary relief

• Sciatic pain developed following injury or postural changes

Early evaluation can help guide appropriate non-surgical management and reduce the risk of chronic symptoms.
