SCIATICA TREATMENT IN BOURNEMOUTH, CHRISTCHURCH AND POOLE
WHY AM I EXPERIENCING SCIATICA?
Sciatica causes pain that radiates from your lower back down into your buttock and leg, sometimes reaching as far as the foot. It’s commonly seen across Bournemouth, Christchurch & Poole and is usually the result of irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve.
​
This irritation is often linked to issues such as a disc bulge or herniation, joint stiffness in the lower spine, or tight muscles around the hips. Symptoms can vary from a dull ache to sharp, shooting pain, and may also include tingling, numbness, or weakness in the affected leg. It can be aggravated by prolonged sitting, bending, or certain movements, and often benefits from targeted treatment to reduce nerve irritation and restore normal movement.
​
COMMON CAUSES OF SCIATICAÂ INCLUDE:
​
- Disc irritation
- Nerve root compression
- Facet joint irritation
- Muscle tightness
- Lower back dysfunction
