SCIATICA

Sciatica is typically caused by a pinched nerve in the low back, although the causes can be varied. Your Brighton and Hove chiropractor and osteopath can help determine where and what is going on, and thus work on the cause of the trapped nerve. Sciatica can be any feeling of pain, ache, shooting pain, numbness, or tingling into the buttock and leg, in any distribution. Sometimes the pain is immense, other times barely detectable. We suggest you do not delay in getting it thoroughly assessed and treated if necessary. Chiropractors and osteopaths are highly trained in helping to treat the cause of the trapped nerve and often can reduce the chance of a flare up by prescribing rehabilitation programme.
