Sciatica treatment in Gloucestershire
Shooting pain down the leg, pins and needles or numbness? We assess what's irritating the nerve and treat it to ease your pain and get you moving freely again.
Symptoms of sciatica
Sciatica is nerve pain that travels from the lower back into the leg. Common signs include:
Common causes
Sciatica is usually caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve - often from disc issues, tight piriformis or gluteal muscles, or postural strain. We identify the source at your assessment and treat accordingly.
How we treat it
We assess your back, hips and nerve movement to find what's irritating the sciatic nerve.
Nerve mobilisation, soft-tissue work and dry needling to reduce irritation, ease pain and restore movement.
Sciatica is unpredictable - so your plan shouldn't be. You'll leave your first session with targeted exercises matched to where your nerve is right now, plus a clear progression so every session has a purpose and you're always moving forward.
Seek urgent care for loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness around the saddle area, or rapidly worsening weakness.
