Detailed clinical assessment to locate the likely cause of your symptoms
Providing a clear, evidence-based path to relief
Understanding sciatica
Sciatica isn't a diagnosis in itself—it is a symptom of an underlying issue irritating the sciatic nerve. This often presents as a sharp, shooting pain, tingling, or numbness that travels from the lower back through the buttock and down the leg. It can be exhausting and, at times, frightening.
Our clinical process
Because the sciatic nerve can be compressed or irritated at various points, a "one size fits all" approach rarely works. At Handsworth Chiropractic Clinic, we focus on:
- Clear diagnosis: Determining where the symptoms are coming from.
- Experienced treatment approach: Using gentle chiropractic techniques and soft tissue therapy followed by specific home exercise advice helps manage your symptoms.
Why choose us for sciatica?
We take a patient first approach, offering longer appointment times to ensure we monitor your neurological progress closely. We work collaboratively with local Sheffield GPs, should your case require further imaging or co-management, ensuring you have a clear pathway to recovery.
Safety Note: If you experience sudden bowel or bladder changes, or numbness in the saddle area, please seek immediate medical attention at an A&E department.
