Sciatica Relief in Beverley
Understanding Sciatica
Sciatic-type leg pain is a common reason people seek advice from our chiropractors. It’s typically felt as discomfort that travels from the lower back into the buttock and down the leg—usually on one side. Symptoms can include pain, tingling, or a sense of tightness that makes sitting, standing, or walking for long periods more difficult.
We assess:
- Discomfort radiating from the lower back through the buttock and down the leg (usually one-sided)
- Pain, tingling, or tightness affecting mobility or tolerance for sitting/standing
- Symptoms linked with irritation or pressure affecting the sciatic nerve, sometimes related to postural strain or spinal changes
Our Approach
We take an all-encompassing approach to care, which includes:
Individual assessment: We start with a careful history and examination. Imaging such as X-ray or MRI is only suggested if clinically appropriate.
Care options (if suitable): Where appropriate, care may include a variety of techniques intended to reduce discomfort and support joint and muscle function.
Advice you can use: We provide tailored guidance on posture, ergonomics, and home strategies to help manage symptoms.
Referral and Collaborative Care
If symptoms are severe, persistent, or not suitable for chiropractic care, we will discuss this with you and refer you to your GP or another healthcare professional.
