Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs).

How Many Physiotherapy Sessions Do I Need?

The number of sessions depends on the patient’s progression and the severity of the condition, and is usually 6–12sessions.

Is Physiotherapy Painful?

Is Physiotherapy covered by insurance?

Coverage is dependent on your insurance provider and policy. Please consult your insurance company to see if physiotherapy is covered.

What is the duration of Sciatica?

It is common for acute sciatica to resolve in 4-8 weeks, depending on the treatment of physiotherapy. More serious or long-term cases might need more extended rehabilitation.

Is surgery necessary to replace physiotherapy?

Is Chiropractic Safe?

Spinal manipulation might be suitable for certain patients, if performed by a qualified practitioner following a comprehensive assessment. But, it’s not something that everyone can do, especially those who have some type of spinal or neurological condition.
