The symptoms of sciatica occur when there is irritation along the path of the sciatic nerve.
Herniated disc, sacroiliac, lumbar vertebra, piriformis, gluteal and hamstring muscles are potential causes of this sciatica with painful symptoms localizing in the lower back, buttock, knee and even the foot. Myofascial and joint work must be carried out depending on the location of compression of the sciatic nerve.
Orthopedist then maybe physio
Hello, you can either see a physiotherapist or an osteopath or both to try to treat the problem as best as possible
Hello,
for examination an orthopedist could ask for RMI or Scan, but you can have physical cares with a good osteopath or Physiotherapist.
Hello, you can consult a general practitioner who will probably refer you to physiotherapy or/and a specialist if this is necessary.
Hi,
For this type of pain, you can contact a osteopath or a physiotherapist. They are both usefull to treat the pain. However, if the compression of the sciatic nerve come from the back (from a hernia for example), these specialists may not be enough. In this cas, an orthopedist could give you an infiltration. But befort that, you should try the non-invasive treatment.
I hope this was helpfull,
Have a nice day,

Hi, osteopathy can be an helpful solution !
Hello. Depending on the extension of symptoms, you have several options. If you do not suffer from severe motor dysfunction, osteopathy can be a good help to reduce pain and improve mobility. If the pain and symptoms handicaps your activities of daily living and you feel that you need to learn again how to move and realize those actions, physiotherapists can help you long term. If you have severe motor dysfunction (trouble to move your feet correctly, stool and urine retention disorder, trouble to walk properly...) you need to go to a neuro/orthopaedic spine specialist surgeon to discuss medical options. Don't hesitate to take advice from... your family doctor, he/she can redirect you to the best option. Voir plus
Your GP will do a great job in first instance. Most cases resolve with time, physio and a conservative approach.
physiotherapist
I would suggest to see a neurologist !
Hello, I advise you to have a check-up with a health professional such as a doctor or osteopath. We'll be able to determine whether it's sciatica or another pain that mimics sciatica. If sciatica is confirmed (herniated disc), physiotherapy treatment is indicated, and osteopathic intervention is possible for acute pain.
Have a nice day.
Neurosurgeon or sport doctor (i know is strange but there really good for diagnosis)
Hello, Orthopédiste or ostéopathe.

Hello,

If you have pins and needles reaching the foot, you have to see your GP. If the sciatic pain do no reach the foot, contact an osteopath.
Hello,
A sciatic pain can have several origins, from a simple locked joint to an herniated disc. So it’s difficult to say what you have without seeing you. I can recommend you to visit an orthopaedic doctor ( dr Hardy, City Clinic, is great!) that can examine you and maybe prescribe you some further exam’s. If the doctor thinks I can help you, for sure he will send you back to me, and anyway will find the best solution for you. I hope this will help you. For further questions, don’t hesitate to contact me. Regards, Pascal
Hello,
You can consult a general practitioner or an orthopaedic surgeon, who will examine you and probably ask you to have an MRI or CT scan to confirm that's really your nerve sciatic. Then physiotherapy will help to reduce your symptoms.
Kind regards.
You can go to your general practitioner, an orthopedic dr or a physiotherapist. In most cases of sciatic pain you would be referred to physiotherapy to work on strengthening the core and back muscles. If you have associated weakness and loss of sensation in the leg than there is a more serious concern and you should consult your general practitioner as soon as possible,

A general practice
Hello,
This kind of pain can have several origins. I would advise seeing a manual therapist: physiotherapist or osteopath. They are able to make a clinical evaluation to find the origin and directly carry out a treatment. An orthopedic doctor could also be considered but with a longer waiting time.
If you're able to walk or to drive, see an osteopath. He will test your body to keep you in security and will give you advises about your pain. If you cannot move or the pain is awfull with lack of sensitivity areas or lose of strenght in your leg, go directly to emergency or call your doctor
Hello, the first person you should consult is your GP. He or she will be able to refer you to the appropriate therapist or treat you with medication or another treatment.
Hello! For sciatic nerve pain, you might want to consider consulting a specialist called an "Orthopedic Surgeon" or a "Neurologist." These specialists have expertise in diagnosing and treating conditions related to the musculoskeletal system and nervous system, respectively. They can help you determine the cause of your sciatic pain and recommend appropriate treatment options. Always consult a medical professional for personalized advice.
Hi, we always recommend to see your family doctor first. Most of the time you don't need a specialist to manage it. If the pain remains after the specialist is an orthopedist.
You have to see a primary car doctor first, a specialist is needed in 5% of the case and the GP will tell if it's needed.
Bonjour. Vous pouvez aller voir un kinésithérapeute spécialisé en thérapies manuelles (vous en trouverez sur le site de Mathera). Si vous n'arrivez plus à bouger les pieds, il faut aller aux urgences. Vous pouvez aussi consulté un médecin spécialisé en médecine physique ou un neurochirurgien.

Hello,
You can contact a physio !
Hello, it all depends on the severity of your problem. But you can easily go through an osteopath first so that he can assess the problem or help you relieve it. Otherwise you can consult a physical doctor or sports doctor.
Hello
You should contact an osteopath. Osteopathy is an excellent treatment for sciatica. An osteopath will take your health history into account, checking for any previous injuries or illnesses that may be contributing. They will then conduct a careful and thorough assessment of your joints and muscles to determine the cause and best course of treatment.
Neuro specialist or your GP
A good GP can makes your check up or you can go directly to a spine specialist in a hospital.
Hi, if you have lost a bit of your muscle strength or sensibility. Go see a neurologue.
If not, go see a physio, it is just a pseudosciatalgie wich mean that it is mostly your muscle the cause of the issues.
Hello,
You should see a neurologist (specialiste of the nerves).
Regards
Hi, you can go to your generalist or an orthopedist, the most important is to begin your reeducation asap
