Understanding Your Symptoms

Sciatica and Lower Back Pain

Sciatica and lower back pain can occur together, but they are not necessarily the same problem.

Lower back pain may remain primarily around the lumbar region, while sciatica commonly involves symptoms extending into the buttock and leg.

If you are experiencing lower back pain together with leg pain, tingling, numbness or weakness, an appropriate assessment can help determine what may be contributing to your symptoms.

Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic Care for Sciatica in London

Sciatica can affect people in different ways. You may experience pain travelling down the leg, tingling, numbness, discomfort in the lower back or buttock, or changes in how you move.

Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, I assess your individual presentation and develop care around your symptoms, lifestyle and goals.

Where appropriate, my chiropractic care may include hands-on techniques, movement advice and personalised exercises to support mobility and physical function.

My aim is to help you better understand your symptoms and support your ability to move comfortably and confidently.

Sciatica Explained

What Is Sciatica?

Sciatica refers to symptoms associated with irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve or the nerve roots that contribute to it.

The sciatic nerve travels from the lower back through the buttocks and down the leg. When the associated nerve structures become irritated, symptoms can be felt along this pathway.

Sciatica may involve:

  • Pain in the lower back or buttock
  • Pain travelling down one leg
  • Sharp, shooting or burning sensations
  • Tingling or pins and needles
  • Numbness
  • Leg or foot weakness
  • Symptoms that change with certain movements or positions

Not every type of leg pain is caused by sciatica. This is why an appropriate assessment is important.

How We Can Help

Can a Chiropractor Help With Sciatica?

Chiropractic care may be appropriate for some people experiencing sciatica and related lower back problems.

My role is to assess your individual symptoms and determine whether chiropractic care is suitable for you.

Where appropriate, I may combine chiropractic techniques with movement advice and personalised exercises as part of your care plan.

If your symptoms require medical investigation or another form of care, I will advise you accordingly.

Know the Signs

When Should You Seek Help for Sciatica?

You may wish to seek professional advice if your symptoms:

  • Are affecting your everyday activities
  • Make sitting or walking difficult
  • Continue or become worse
  • Interfere with work or exercise
  • Keep returning
  • Are accompanied by persistent leg symptoms

A professional assessment can help you understand your symptoms and identify the most appropriate next step.

Important Safety Information

When Sciatica Requires Urgent Medical Attention

Most cases of sciatica are not an emergency. However, certain symptoms require urgent medical attention.

Seek urgent medical help if you develop:

  • Numbness around your genitals or anus
  • Difficulty starting or controlling urination
  • Loss of bladder or bowel control
  • Severe or worsening weakness or numbness in both legs
  • Symptoms affecting both legs together with significant neurological changes

If you experience these symptoms, seek emergency medical care rather than waiting for a chiropractic appointment.

Understanding Recovery

How Long Does Sciatica Last and When Is It an Emergency?

Many episodes of sciatica improve within a few weeks, although some take longer and others return, depending on the cause and how you manage it. Staying gently active, avoiding long spells of sitting and following the exercises Ida suggests are all part of recovery, and she will review your progress at each visit.

Sciatica becomes an emergency if you develop numbness around the groin or inner thighs, difficulty controlling your bladder or bowels, or rapidly worsening weakness in a leg. In that case go to A&E rather than waiting for an appointment. For less severe symptoms, read about back pain treatment and trapped nerve treatment.

Ida is a star - I highly recommend her. She always fixes my cricks, aches and pains, and keeps me fit and feeling young. And if, like me you are interested, she is great at explaining how the body works and why things go wrong. Ida is an investment which pays off in spades.

I have been a patient of Ida for several years and genuinely cannot recommend her enough if you are suffering with any sort of back pain. She’s extremely knowledgeable and is great to deal with too. I wouldn’t go to anyone else with my back issues.

Ida is kind, effective and reactive. She was able to see me the day I called her and went through a complete checkup before touching my back. She was precise and warned me I would have more pain in the evening and the day after I would feel better, which exactly happened. Thank you so much

I finally was able to schedule and appointment. She was very flexible and able to squeeze me in before my flight. She was able to loosen up my upper back pain for a few hours. Although it returned with a vengeances. I praise the efforts. Thank you for being flexible.

Ida was a life saver. I had a sharp pain down my left shoulder and back for two days that only seemed to be getting worse. I found Ida via Google and luckily she had a spot available on the same day. She worked on my back and straight away I felt better, and the pain was completely gone the next day!
