Sciatica

Sciatica presents as pain radiating from the lower back down through the buttock and leg, often caused by a compressed or irritated nerve. We specialise in identifying the source of nerve compression and using targeted treatment, including IDD Therapy for disc-related sciatica, to relieve pressure.

Understanding Sciatica

What's Going On?

Sciatica describes pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, from the lower back, through the buttock, and down the back of the leg. It's usually caused by compression or irritation of the nerve roots in the lower spine, often related to a disc bulge or herniation.

Because sciatica is a symptom rather than a diagnosis, understanding what's pressing on the nerve is essential. Disc-related sciatica is one of the most common causes, and our IDD Therapy spinal decompression is specifically designed to relieve pressure on the affected disc and nerve root. We carry out a thorough assessment to determine the source and the most appropriate treatment.
