Sciatica

Sciatica is a debilitating condition. Osteopathy is a natural treatment alternative for the relief of pain associated with the nerve irritation.  Treatment is aimed at normalising movement throughout the pelvis, lower back and leg to decrease any tension around the sciatic nerve.  Improved motion assists the drainage of lymph and venous blood which is important in removing inflammation.

Sometimes a disc prolapse may have precipitated the pain and in these cases any twisting through the disc is minimised to help avoid irritation during movements in the short term, and help aid a more effective healing process to avoid recurrent episodes in the long term.
