Physiotherapy for Lumbar Disc
and Sciatica

Hello, if you are unable to visit the clinic in person, you can take advantage of the online video visit service. Please refer to the online appointment schedule located in the menu at the top of the site to schedule an online video visit and click on online visit on the appointment page.

In the online visit, which is performed by the physiotherapist colleagues of Dr. Hakim’s team, after taking your detailed medical history by the physiotherapist, movement tests are taken and appropriate exercises are prescribed, which will be the majority of your in-person treatment. If during the online assessment and treatment process, the physiotherapist realizes that you need to visit in person, they will definitely inform you and your online visit process will not continue for the next sessions.

Greetings, our main method at Saadat Abad Physiotherapy Clinic is the mechanical diagnosis and treatment method; in this method, we first examine the origin of the pain, which is in the spine or limb, and in the first few sessions, we group patients based on pain and symptoms and movement tests in each session. Most clients are in the mechanical pain group, which has a high prognosis and possibility of recovery in the short term. In this group, the emphasis is on prescribing “one” movement or position, with which the client’s severe pain gradually decreases and the symptoms begin to improve. In addition to exercise therapy, which is the main treatment method, we may also use other physiotherapy treatment modalities at our discretion. We do not need an MRI to start the physiotherapy examination and treatment, but if you already have medical documents, bring them with you. On the other hand, if after the first few sessions, the patient is placed in other treatment groups such as inflammatory pain, chronic nerve pain, etc., they have a poorer prognosis and the likelihood of recovery in the short term is low and they must be treated for a longer period of time. During the sessions, they may need to consult with other doctors and perform other medical procedures by medical specialists, who will definitely provide the necessary advice and solutions.
