Shooting pain, tingling or numbness that starts in your lower back and travels down the leg can really wear you down. We take the time to work out what's driving yours, then build a plan to settle it.
Sciatica is pain that comes from the sciatic nerve, the large nerve running from your lower back, through the buttock and down each leg. When that nerve is irritated or compressed, it can send pain, tingling or numbness right along its path.
What's behind it varies with age and lifestyle. In younger adults it's often a disc issue; later in life, everyday wear and tear in the spine is more common. Long stretches of sitting, heavy lifting and hours on your feet can all play a part.
Your first visit is a thorough assessment so we can pinpoint where the nerve is being irritated, and why. From there, Mark builds a plan around you, which may include chiropractic adjustments, gentle spinal care and a few simple exercises to do at home.
It's a safe, non-invasive and drug-free approach focused on the cause rather than just the symptom, so you have the best chance of lasting relief instead of a temporary fix.
A detailed history and a full check of how your spine, joints and posture are moving, with digital X-rays if clinically required.
We explain what we found in plain language, so you understand what is going on before anything begins.
A personalised plan built around you, with honest advice on what to expect, and no quick fixes.
