sciatica pain relief Treatment in London
Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back through the hips, buttocks, and down each leg.
Sciatica is a symptom, not a diagnosis, so we first find out what is irritating the nerve, such as a disc, a tight muscle or a stiff joint. Treatment aims to take pressure off the nerve, settle pain and get you moving, with exercises that help you manage flare-ups yourself.
We start with a full consultation and a hands-on assessment, explain what we find in plain language, and begin treatment in the same session. You leave with a simple exercise plan and a clear idea of how many visits you are likely to need.
Seek urgent medical help if you have numbness around the groin, new bladder or bowel problems, or weakness in both legs.
Typically, sciatica affects only one side of the body, ranging from mild discomfort to sharp, burning pain. It often comes with sensations like numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness in the leg or foot. Although sciatica is not a condition, it is a symptom of an underlying issue, most often involving nerve compression.
The severity of sciatica varies depending on the degree of nerve involvement. The pain can be constant or come and go; in some cases, it can worsen with movements such as sitting, standing, or walking. Sciatica is quite common, especially in people with occupations or lifestyles that stress the lower back, but effective treatments are available.
