Book AppointmentUnderstanding 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.

- Keep returning

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.
