We take the time to understand your symptoms, triggers, and limitations so we can craft a treatment plan that truly works for you.
What is Sciatica?
Sciatica relates to irritation of the sciatic nerve, the longest nerve in your body. It stretches from the lower back, through the hips and buttocks, and down each leg. Most sciatica pain begins in the lower spine when the nerve is compressed or inflamed. Along with sharp or radiating pain, some people may experience numbness, tingling, or weakness in the leg. In more severe situations, it can affect mobility and make controlling leg movements difficult.
What Causes Sciatica?
Various factors can cause pain, such as:
Spondylolisthesis
When a vertebra slips out of place and compresses the sciatic nerve roots.
Muscle inflammation or tightness
Especially in the lower back or glutes, leading to nerve irritation.
Injuries or trauma
Falls, accidents, or heavy lifting that impact the lower spine.
Prolonged sitting or poor posture
Ncreasing pressure on the lower spine and sciatic nerve.
Pregnancy-related changes
Due to posture shifts, extra weight, and pelvic adjustments.
Underlying conditions like arthritis or bone spurs
Which can narrow nerve pathways.
How Long Does the Pain Last?
The duration of sciatica varies, especially when it’s linked to a disc bulge or protrusion. In most cases, symptoms improve within 6 to 12 weeks. Pain tends to be more intense during the early days but usually settles as the inflammation reduces. During this period, targeted care is important, as around 5–10% of people may continue to experience symptoms beyond this window — and without proper treatment, some may even face long-term mobility issues.

Frequently Asked Questions
2.Can I start treatment if my pain comes and goes rather than staying constant?
Yes — intermittent symptoms still indicate nerve irritation, and early treatment can prevent worsening.
Do you provide exercises I can safely do at home between sessions?
Absolutely. We give you personalised home programs that support faster recovery.
Is sciatica treatment safe for older adults with spine degeneration?
Yes. We modify all techniques to suit your mobility, comfort, and medical needs.
What if my sciatica is due to long hours of sitting at work?
We address both the pain and the root cause by offering ergonomic corrections and posture retraining.
Can treatment help if I’ve had sciatica for several months or years?
Yes — chronic cases often improve with targeted therapy and nerve mobilisation.
Will I need an MRI before starting treatment?
Not always. We recommend imaging only if your symptoms appear complex or don’t respond to initial care.

Usually yes, but we guide you on what movements to avoid and what to modify for safety.
How soon can I expect relief after starting treatment?
Many clients notice improvements within a few sessions, depending on severity and the underlying cause.
