Sciatica is not the name of a disease but of a symptom: pain travelling along the path of the sciatic nerve — from the lower back to the hip, then down the back of the leg to the foot. The same symptom can sit on top of a disc herniation, spinal stenosis, or compression related to the piriformis muscle. What determines treatment is not the pain but its source. In Bursa Nilüfer, Fzt. Bilal Kara makes that distinction first and builds the programme around it.
Fzt. Bilal Kara provides one-to-one care for sciatica at the clinic in Bursa Nilüfer — in Fethiye Mahallesi, on Kelebek Sokak, at a central point of Nilüfer, opposite the Fethiye covered market.
It is a short trip by car or public transport from İhsaniye, Odunluk, Balat, Özlüce, Ataevler, 23 Nisan and the surrounding areas. Every session is one-to-one, assessment-based and tailored to you.
Most sciatica recurrences happen during the period when the pain has eased. Hip and trunk muscles weaken quickly during the painful weeks; once the person feels better they return to their old life, but the back and hip can no longer carry what they used to.
Fzt. Bilal Kara devotes the second half of the programme to closing this gap. Graded loading is done from a starting level measured in the gym; movements actually used in daily life — squatting, hip hinging, carrying — are re-taught with a safe load. The criterion isn't being pain-free, it's staying pain-free under load.

The criterion isn't being pain-free, it's staying pain-free under load. That's why the programme continues after the pain is gone — the real gain is made in this second stage.

Fzt. Bilal Kara · Bursa Nilüfer. Share your complaint; we plan the process together after the assessment.
No; the pain going away is the midpoint of the process. The second half aims to prevent recurrence by reloading the weakened hip and trunk muscles.
Yes, when taught at the right dose and gradually; since these movements are unavoidable in daily life, the programme targets them directly.
It's set by measuring the level at which you stay pain-free under load; progress follows that criterion, not the calendar.
Independent, authoritative health sources. For information only; not a substitute for medical advice.
An exercise-based, one-to-one physiotherapy programme for back pain and pain radiating into the leg.
For pain starting deep in the buttock and spreading down the leg, worse with long sitting.
For back pain that persists without a clear imaging finding: a programme that looks for the source.

When sciatica starts, stopping training altogether usually isn't necessary. Which movements can continue is worked out through assessment.

"Which doctor should I see for a herniated disc?" is one of the most common questions. The answer isn't a single department; it depends on the clinical picture.

A hernia showing up on an MRI doesn't mean surgery is needed. The large majority of herniated discs improve without surgery.
