The Healing Centre's Approach to Sciatica Treatment

At The Healing Centre, our chiropractors take a comprehensive approach to sciatica treatment, ensuring that we address all aspects of your discomfort.
Our approach includes the following:

Comprehensive Assessment

Our chiropractors begin by conducting a thorough examination to identify the underlying causes of your sciatica. This may involve a physical examination, diagnostic imaging (such as X-rays or MRI), and a detailed discussion of your medical history, symptoms, and lifestyle habits.

Personalised Treatment Plan

Based on the findings from the comprehensive assessment, our chiropractors create a personalised treatment plan that addresses your unique needs and goals. This may include a combination of spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapy, rehabilitative exercises, and lifestyle modifications.

Spinal Adjustments

Misalignments in the spine, particularly in the lumbar region, can contribute to sciatic pain by compressing the sciatic nerve. Our chiropractors use gentle, precise spinal adjustments to correct these misalignments and improve spinal alignment.

Soft Tissue Therapy

Muscle imbalances, tightness, and trigger points in the lower back, buttocks, and surrounding areas can also contribute to sciatic pain. Our chiropractors use various soft tissue techniques, such as myofascial release and trigger point therapy, to release tension and restore balance to your muscles.

Rehabilitative Exercises

To help you maintain the improvements made through spinal adjustments and soft tissue therapy, our chiropractors may prescribe rehabilitative exercises tailored to your specific needs. These exercises are designed to strengthen weak muscles, stretch tight muscles, and promote proper muscle activation patterns.

Lifestyle Modifications

Our chiropractors will also provide you with lifestyle advice to help you modify your habits and environment to support proper spinal health and reduce strain on your sciatic nerve. This may include guidance on proper ergonomics, posture, and physical activity.
