Sciatica is shooting or burning pain that travels from the lower back down the buttock and leg, usually caused by a **herniated disc, piriformis syndrome or lumbar spinal stenosis** pressing on the sciatic nerve. Left untreated it can lead to numbness, weakness and permanent nerve damage.
Our multi-modal sciatica programme uses neural mobilisation, the McKenzie extension protocol, lumbar mechanical traction, acupuncture, dry needling and progressive core stabilisation to relieve nerve pressure at the source and prevent recurrence.
Adults with sharp one-sided leg pain, tingling or numbness travelling from the lower back down to the foot — worse on sitting, coughing or bending forward.
