- Sciatica -

Sciatica is a common condition that affects the sciatic nerve, which is the largest nerve in the body. It can cause pain, numbness, and weakness in the lower back, hips, and legs. Osteopaths are highly skilled in the assessment and treatment of sciatica, working with patients to identify the underlying causes of their symptoms and develop effective treatment plans. 

Several factors can contribute to sciatica, including herniated discs, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, piriformis syndrome and spondylolisthesis. 

Osteopaths use a variety of techniques to help alleviate sciatic pain, including manual therapy, stretching, and exercise therapy. By addressing the underlying cause of the pain and promoting healing, osteopathic treatments can help to reduce inflammation, improve nerve function, and alleviate pain and discomfort. At Euphoria Osteopaths, we specialize in the treatment of sciatica and other musculoskeletal conditions, and we are committed to helping our patients achieve optimal health and wellbeing.
