What Causes Sciatica?
Sciatica is a symptom rather than a condition in itself, which means something is irritating or compressing the sciatic nerve. Frequent culprits include a bulging or herniated disc pressing on the nerve root, narrowing within the spine, or tightness in the muscles of the buttock and pelvis. Identifying the specific source is essential, as it shapes the most effective course of treatment.

How We Treat Sciatica
Our care focuses on relieving pressure on the nerve and addressing the root problem. Where a disc is involved, spinal decompression therapy can gently reduce pressure within the spine, while chiropractic adjustment helps restore normal joint movement. Massage and soft tissue therapy can release tight muscles that contribute to nerve irritation, and tailored exercises support a steady, lasting recovery.

What to Expect on Your First Visit
Sciatica deserves a careful assessment, so we begin by exploring your symptoms in detail, including where the pain travels and what makes it better or worse. A thorough examination follows, allowing us to determine the likely cause and confirm whether treatments such as decompression are suitable. We then explain your options and agree a personalised plan together.
