If you’re reading this, you’re probably looking for information on leg discomfort, numbness, or a burning feeling radiating from your lower back. You’ve probably tried rest, stretching, and perhaps physiotherapy – but it keeps coming back. There is a reason behind that.
Most sciatica therapies focus on where you experience the pain – the leg, the nerve, the disc. But the nerve doesn’t become inflamed for no cause. There’s nearly always an upstream structural issue: a pelvis that’s twisted and sticking there, a lumbar vertebra that’s limited, a deep hip muscle that’s chronically guarding. Until that structural cause is located and repaired, the sciatic nerve will keep being irritated. That’s why symptom-chasing never lasts.
I do not guess. Every session begins with a thorough posture and mobility evaluation to determine exactly where your body is compensating and why. To treat the underlying mechanical aetiology, I employ precise osteopathic manual procedures, including pelvic rotation, lumbar facet limitations, sacroiliac dysfunction, piriformis tension, and anything else discovered during the evaluation. The purpose is not to provide immediate alleviation, but to effect long-term structural transformation.
To determine the underlying structural reason of your sciatica, we will do a thorough posture analysis, mobility screening, and hands-on palpation.
Precise osteopathic procedures applied to the true structural factors, rather than just chasing symptoms where you feel discomfort.
We review the motions and observations from the beginning of the session to objectively confirm what has changed throughout therapy.
Targeted counsel — tailored to your body — so that the modifications we made during the session have the highest chance of becoming permanent.
If you have lost bladder or bowel control, numbness in the groin or inner thighs (saddle anaesthesia), or sudden acute weakness in both legs, get medical assistance right once. These might be symptoms of cauda equina syndrome, which need immediate attention.
