Sciatica is one of the most common pain conditions that we suffer from. Defined as pain down the back of the leg, it can be caused by problems with the muscles, joints, and nerves effecting people of any age! In fact up to 40% of the UK population suffers with sciatica!
Treatments like Chiropractic Care, Sports and Massage Therapy, and Pilates are the gold standard for treating sciatica and should be the first port of call for anyone who has symptoms!
Sciatica symptoms vary and every patient will experience it differently. Depending on the cause of your sciatica, the main symptom you experience may be a little different than someone else you know with the 'same' problem. Below are a list of common sciatica symptoms:
Some patients find symptoms may be worse when bending over or lifting heavy objects. You may also find symptoms are worse when coughing/sneezing/laughing/straining as this increases the pressure around your nerves.
Chiropractic care uses gentle manipulations and soft tissue work to help you move and feel better. It is well evidenced for sciatica relief and back pain treatment. Chiropractic care is a great place to start if you want to get diagnosed and treated!
Sciatica treatment can include joint manipulations/mobilisations, soft tissues release, exercise prescription, and lifestyle advice. Based on your circumstances and our examination we will tailor a bespoke treatment plan to help you! Your plan will comprise of multiple treatments over several weeks depending on the cause of your symptoms and your goals!

Regular massage will help keep you flexible and supple and prevent re-injury. By seeing your massage therapist regularly, you will be able to move and feel your best!
