What is Sciatica?

Sciatica is pain that radiates along the sciatic nerve, often from the lower back down to the legs.

Common Causes

  • Herniated or bulging discs
  • Muscle tightness or imbalance
  • Poor posture or prolonged sitting
  • Pregnancy or lifestyle factors

Symptoms

  • Sharp or burning pain in the leg
  • Numbness or tingling
  • Weakness in the leg or foot

How Osteopathy Helps

Osteopaths assess posture, muscle tension, and joint movement, and provide techniques and exercises to reduce nerve compression and relieve pain.
