Sciatica

Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve (or the root of) is irritated or compressed. There are a variety of causes of sciatica, ranging from inflammation to nerve root compression. Symptoms can vary from mild to very severe. Find relief for sciatica here.

The pain is typically accompanied by neurological symptoms, such as pins and needles, numbness or weakness in associated muscles.

Pain levels can also be affected by lifestyle factors such as sleep quality or quantity and stress.

Clearly identifying the most likely cause to your symptoms, as well as the lifestyle factors that are contributing to your pain, is key in finding the most effective way to help you recover.

For example, if stress is playing a role in your overall pain levels, then your chiropractor may suggest some form of stress management.

Disc injuries are common causes of sciatica. These injuries are largely genetically driven and will likely fully resolve within a year . However, early identification of the problem and an accurate management strategy are key to reducing symptom levels as quickly as possible.

What we do to treat sciatica

Our goal for treatment of sciatica would be to get the pain under control as quickly as possible and then manage this whilst your body heals.

Sometimes problems like sciatica involve a need for further imaging (such as X-ray or MRI). If this is necessary, your chiropractor will be able to assist you in this process.

A thorough physical assessment is key to identify the level of sciatic nerve irritation. This helps to shape your physical rehabilitation and the style of hands-on treatment that we select for yourself.

We also need to take a deep dive into your lifestyle so that we can offer management advice for areas that we need to address.

This could simply be ergonomic advice to reduce how much the nerve is being aggravated day to day, or perhaps prescribing Sleep Hygiene as a way to improve your quality and quantity of sleep.

At Diss Chiropractic Clinic we endeavour to make sure that our advice is as practical and well-rounded as possible to help get you fast relief from pain.

What do our clients think?

After four years of back pain I decided to see a Chiropractor as it was affecting my work and daily life. I was given an appointment the next day with Jake. I have had two appointments with him and I can already feel the benefit. Jake explained what he would do and answered all my questions. The exercises have been ones that I can do at home. Jake has shown care and professionalism at all times. I am so glad that I chose this clinic. The reception staff are very helpful.

Carolyn O’Dea

My husband has visited 3 times now and is doing his exercises regularly – significant improvement. Very pleased with everything to do with Rob’s advice.

Jacqui Thone

Stuart Washington looks after my lower back which has been troublesome since I retired. Stuart and the reception staff at the Diss clinic are very friendly and welcoming. The adjacent parking is very handy even though the clinic is close to the town centre. The treatment and advice re: exercises and stretches I receive from Stuart has helped me to keep my back pain free for most of the time, but when I do exceed my limits he helps me to get back to normal in good time. Most of the time I am on routine bi-monthly “care and maintenance” appointments, but I can get out of schedule appointments when needed. I am very happy with the service.

John Ambler

My treatments help reduce the frequency and severity of my migraines, having battled with this condition for decades.

Claire Gallant

Excellent service, fitted me in very quickly, and noticed an immediate improvement.

Hip pain isn’t always what you think

As a chiropractor, most of the problems we see revolve around problems with the low back. This is partly because that’s what chiropractors are best
