Sciatica

Sciatica describes pain that is felt in the leg but often originates from the lower back. The sciatic nerve starts in the lower back and runs all the way down the back of the leg into the foot.

​

Symptoms of sciatica can include pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness, which can be experienced along any part of the nerve. These symptoms can have a sudden or slow onset and can vary from mild to severe.

Sciatica can significantly impact daily life, but various treatments are available to help manage the condition including manual therapy, acupuncture and prescribed exercises.
