Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the sciatic nerve path, running from your lower back through your hips and buttocks down each leg. It typically affects only one side and occurs when the nerve is compressed or irritated, often due to a herniated disc or bone spur.
Modern research shows that targeted treatment approaches can effectively relieve sciatic pain by addressing the specific causes, reducing inflammation, and restoring proper nerve function and mobility.

Our experienced team effectively treats various forms of sciatica and related nerve pain using targeted, evidence-based approaches.
Occurs when a spinal disc protrudes and presses on the sciatic nerve, causing sharp, shooting pain from the lower back into the leg. Often worsened by sitting and accompanied by numbness or tingling.
A condition where the piriformis muscle in the buttock irritates or compresses the sciatic nerve, causing pain, numbness, and tingling. Often triggered by prolonged sitting, sports activities, or direct injury.
Narrowing of the spinal canal that puts pressure on the nerve roots. Typically causes pain or cramping in the legs when walking, relieved by sitting or leaning forward.
Occurs when one vertebra slips forward over another, narrowing the space for nerve roots and causing back pain and sciatica. Often related to degenerative changes or stress fractures.
Sciatic pain during pregnancy caused by the growing uterus pressing on the sciatic nerve, weight gain, postural changes, and ligament laxity due to hormonal changes.
Identifying the precise cause of your sciatic pain is crucial for effective treatment. Our specialists will conduct a thorough assessment to determine the underlying factors contributing to your symptoms.

Your journey to recovery begins with understanding what happens during your sciatica treatment.
Here's a detailed overview of your experience at our London clinic.
We begin with a thorough evaluation of your symptoms, medical history, and physical condition. This includes neurological tests, range of motion assessment, and examination of posture and movement patterns to identify the root cause of your sciatica.
Based on your assessment, we create a tailored treatment strategy, selecting specific techniques and therapies that will address your unique condition and needs.
Depending on your condition, treatment may include manual therapy techniques, targeted exercises, specialized equipment, and modalities to reduce pain, improve mobility, and address the underlying cause of your sciatica.
You'll receive specific exercises to perform between sessions to enhance your recovery. These are carefully selected to strengthen supporting muscles, improve flexibility, and prevent recurrence of your sciatic pain.
We continually assess your progress and adjust your treatment plan accordingly. As you improve, we focus more on strengthening, mobility, and prevention strategies to ensure long-term relief from sciatica.
Initial assessment: 45-60 minutes
Follow-up sessions: 30-45 minutes
Typically 1-2 times weekly initially, reducing as symptoms improve
Many notice improvements within 2-3 sessions, with significant relief after 5-8 treatments
We employ various evidence-based techniques to effectively treat sciatica and restore function:
Expert manual therapy, specific exercises, and modalities to relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve, reduce pain and inflammation, and restore proper movement patterns.
Hands-on manipulative techniques that focus on the relationship between structure and function, addressing spinal alignment, soft tissue tension, and joint mobility to relieve sciatica.
Gentle traction techniques to create space between vertebrae, relieving pressure on discs and nerve roots. Particularly effective for herniated disc-related sciatica.
Specialized massage techniques to release muscle tension, particularly in the piriformis and gluteal muscles, improving blood flow and reducing irritation of the sciatic nerve.
Precision needle therapy that stimulates specific points to reduce inflammation, release natural pain-relieving endorphins, and promote healing along the affected nerve pathway.
Targeted strengthening and stretching routines to address muscular imbalances, improve core stability, and support proper spinal alignment to prevent recurrence of sciatic pain.

Sciatica Patients
Average Rating
Success Rate
Recovery time varies depending on the severity and cause of your sciatica. Many patients experience significant relief within 2-4 weeks of starting treatment. More complex cases may take 8-12 weeks for full resolution. With a consistent treatment plan and home exercise program, most patients see substantial improvement within 6-8 sessions.
The vast majority of sciatica cases (approximately 90%) resolve with conservative treatment without requiring surgery. Our comprehensive approach focuses on addressing the root cause and providing effective non-surgical solutions. Surgery is typically only considered when conservative treatments haven't provided relief after several months or if there's significant weakness or loss of function.
Yes, but the right exercises are crucial. Some activities can worsen sciatic pain while others can help. During your treatment, we'll provide specific exercises tailored to your condition that are safe and therapeutic. Generally, low-impact activities like walking, swimming, and specific gentle stretches are beneficial, while high-impact exercises or heavy lifting may aggravate symptoms.
Activities that typically aggravate sciatic pain include prolonged sitting, heavy lifting, bending forward at the waist, twisting movements of the spine, and high-impact exercises. Sleeping on a very soft mattress may also worsen symptoms. During your treatment, we'll provide personalized advice on activity modifications based on your specific condition and lifestyle needs.
While successful treatment resolves the current episode of sciatica, recurrence is possible if underlying factors aren't addressed. Our approach focuses not only on relieving current symptoms but also on prevention through core strengthening, posture correction, and lifestyle modifications. Most patients who complete the full recommended treatment program and continue with maintenance exercises experience long-term relief.
Most private health insurance plans cover physiotherapy, osteopathy, and other treatments for sciatica. We work with all major UK health insurance providers including BUPA, AXA, Aviva, and others. Before starting treatment, we recommend checking your specific policy regarding coverage limits and referral requirements. Our team can assist with insurance verification and provide the necessary documentation.
