Advanced sciatica treatment solutions at ProHealth Chiropractic

While some mild cases of sciatica may improve with rest, the initial root cause still needs to be addressed.

Our approach to treating sciatica begins with a thorough examination to determine the exact cause of your pain. Using detailed physical assessments and advanced diagnostic techniques, we identify the specific points of nerve compression or irritation. This allows us to develop a personalised treatment plan that addresses not just your symptoms, but the underlying cause of your sciatica.

Your customised treatment plan may include precise spinal adjustments to relieve nerve pressure and improve alignment, along with recommendations for decompression techniques, stretching and exercises, soft tissue therapy and more.

Understanding your recovery journey

Just like every person is unique, every case of sciatica is different. Some patients come to us after dealing with pain for years, while others seek help right after their first twinge of discomfort. 

The longer you’ve been dealing with sciatic pain, the more time your body may need to heal. Think of it like a path worn in the grass – the longer it’s been there, the more time it takes to restore.

What’s causing your sciatica plays a big role too. Whether it’s a herniated disc pressing on the nerve or a misaligned spine, identifying the root cause helps us create the right path forward for you. We’ll also look at your daily routine – things like your work environment, regular activities, and exercise habits all affect how quickly you’ll bounce back.

Even if you’ve tried other treatments before without success, don’t lose hope. Our ProHealth team approach sets us apart! 

Many of our patients are thrilled to feel some relief within their first few visits, but lasting healing takes a bit more time and patience. 

Finally, many patients decide to be proactive in their care and continue working with us, helping to manage the underlying cause and prevent the issue from returning.

Throughout your care, we’ll make recommendations to help you protect your spine in your everyday life.

Ellie is absolutely amazing! I had neck and upper back pain for over 8 months having visited a number of physio and consultants, no success. Ellie identified the problem in the first session and had it fixed in the next two. Great energy, great passion. Definitely recommend. Thank you.
