Sciatica Treatment
in London
Non-surgical care for Sciatica at Spineworks
Living with sciatica isn’t just dealing with pain – it’s a whole-body experience that can make even simple daily activities feel impossible. When the sciatic nerve, the longest nerve in your body, becomes compressed or irritated, it can create a cascade of symptoms from your lower back all the way down to your toes. Symptoms of sciatica may include one or more of the following:
- Numbness, and tingling, especially in the feet/toes
- Pain in the lower back and/or buttock
- Weakness in the legs or feet
- Consistent pain in one of the buttocks
- A burning sensation, usually in the back of the leg
- Leg pain that becomes worse when seated
- Intense leg pain that makes it hard to stand
At Spineworks, we understand the complex nature of sciatica and offer chiropractic care to help London residents with this condition.
Understanding Sciatica's Impact and Causes
The sciatic nerve is like a superhighway of sensation, running from your lower spine through your buttocks and down each leg to your feet. Sciatica nerve irritation can cause:
Common causes of sciatic pain include:
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Spinal misalignments (subluxations)
- Pregnancy-related pressure
- Poor posture and sitting habits
- Work-related repetitive movements
- Sports injuries or accidents
- Degenerative disc disease
- Spinal stenosis
Advanced Sciatica Treatment Solutions at Spineworks
While some mild cases of sciatica may improve with rest, the initial root cause still needs to be addressed. Our approach to treating sciatica begins with a thorough examination to determine the exact cause of your pain. We might perform x-rays in our clinic or refer you for other diagnostic imaging like MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) to identify the specific points of nerve compression or irritation. This allows us to develop a personalised treatment plan that addresses not just your symptoms, but the underlying cause of your sciatica.
Your customised treatment plan may include precise spinal adjustments to relieve nerve pressure and improve alignment, along with recommendations for decompression techniques, stretching and exercises, soft tissue therapy and more.
Understanding Your Recovery Journey
Just like every person is unique, every case of sciatica is different. Some patients come to us after dealing with pain for years, while others seek help right after their first twinge of discomfort. The longer you’ve been dealing with sciatic pain, the more time your body may need to heal. Think of it like a path worn in the grass – the longer it’s been there, the more time it takes to restore.
What’s causing your sciatica plays a big role too. Whether it’s a herniated disc pressing on the nerve or a misaligned spine, identifying the root cause helps us create the right path forward for you. We’ll also look at your daily routine – things like your work environment, regular activities, and exercise habits all affect how quickly you’ll bounce back.
Even if you’ve tried other treatments before without success, don’t lose hope. Our chiropractic approach sets us apart. Many of our patients are thrilled to feel some relief within their first few visits, but lasting healing takes a bit more time and patience. First, we focus on providing relief. Once you’re feeling more comfortable, we dig deeper into corrective care to fix what caused the problem in the first place. Finally, we may recommend that we continue to work together, providing maintenance care to keep the pain from coming back. Throughout your care, we’ll make recommendations to help you protect your spine in your everyday life.
What Our Patients Say
I am absolutely amazed by the improvements already from the treatments I am recovering. The staff are all very professional, friendly and helpful. They definitely have made a massive improvement in helping me get my life back to some normality and I look forward to full recovery in the near future. They know exactly what they are doing, I am being treated by Dr Josh, he has explained exactly what was going on with my spine and neck (hence the sciatica pain).
Thank you!! You have helped ease the pain massively which I have had for over 20 years and my GP and hospitals have not been able to diagnose or address my constant back, hip and leg pain caused by sciatica but SpineWorks’s team have already made more than half of my condition better and pain free in most areas. What I love about SpineWorks’s is that the team genuinely cares about their patients and their wellbeing.
Excellent professional service.
Very happy with everything so far.
THANK YOU!!
