What’s the Difference Between Back Pain and Sciatica?
Back Pain
Back pain can arise from:
-
Muscle or ligament strains
-
Poor posture or prolonged sitting
-
Disc degeneration or bulging
-
Facet joint irritation
-
Osteoarthritis
-
Spinal stenosis
-
Repetitive movements or overuse
-
Past injuries or surgery
Pain can be localized or radiate into the buttocks, hips, or thighs, and may feel dull, sharp, stiff, or burning depending on the root cause.
Sciatica
Sciatica is a nerve-related condition, caused by compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve — the largest nerve in your body.
Symptoms often include:
-
Sharp, burning, or shooting pain down the leg
-
Tingling, numbness, or pins and needles
-
Muscle weakness in the leg or foot
-
Pain that worsens with sitting or bending
Common causes include disc herniation, bone spurs, piriformis syndrome, and spinal misalignment.

Back Pain & Sciatica FAQs
How do I know if my back pain is serious?
If your pain lasts more than a few days, limits your movement, or radiates down your leg, it’s time to get assessed. Sudden weakness, numbness, or loss of bladder/bowel control are red flags and should be addressed immediately.
What’s the best way to relieve back pain naturally?
Active treatment like physiotherapy — including movement retraining, posture correction, and manual therapy — is one of the safest and most effective drug-free solutions. Rest alone won’t fix the root cause.
What’s the difference between back pain and sciatica?
Back pain usually stays local to the back, while sciatica involves nerve pain that travels down the leg. Your physiotherapist can help determine the cause and best treatment path.
Should I see a physiotherapist or a chiropractor first?
Both physiotherapists and chiropractors are highly trained professionals who help treat back pain and improve how your body moves. The best option for you depends on the type of pain you're experiencing, the root cause, and your personal health goals.
At COMPHYSIO+, your care typically begins with a detailed assessment to understand your needs. From there, we’ll guide you toward the most appropriate provider — which may be physiotherapy, chiropractic, or a combination of both. Because our clinicians work as a team, we can ensure you get the right care at the right time, with a coordinated plan focused on getting you better, faster.
