If you are experiencing persistent pain in your lower back, you might be suffering from sciatica. Although symptoms may vary in intensity, sciatica is characterised by persistent pain and tingling sensation from your bottom to your feet.
An Osteopath is able to work towards relieving the symptoms of sciatica by seeking out the underlying cause of the pain.
In most cases, sciatic nerve pain can be improved by treating muscle spasms, improving joint mobility and overall spinal functional movement, thereby relieving stress on the affected areas.
Treatments may include a combination of manual joint manipulation or articulation, muscle, or tendon manipulation to reduce pressure on the sciatic nerve.
Osteopaths are registered medical professionals that can run a thorough assessment and be able to determine what is causing your sciatica and treat it. Sometimes a nerve inflammation stems from untreated injuries or pre-existing conditions and osteopathy aims at resolving your problems to their root.

One of the best ways to treat sciatic pain and to prevent sciatica in the future is through physical therapy and stretching. With physical therapy, we can target and strengthen the surrounding muscles in your back to take the pressure off your sciatic nerve.
When back injuries result in the sciatica it can lead to excruciating shooting pains, running from the lower back, into the leg and foot. An Osteopath can help release the nerve, release the pressure and reduce the pain.
