When lower back pain starts shooting down through the buttock and leg, it usually points to sciatic nerve irritation. It can make sitting, walking or even lying down uncomfortable. Our osteopaths are trained to identify what is compressing or irritating the nerve and to treat that cause, not just the symptom.

Osteopathic treatment works on the lumbar spine, pelvis and piriformis muscle — the areas most often responsible for compressing the sciatic nerve — to relieve pressure and restore normal movement. We also screen carefully for red-flag symptoms that would need urgent medical attention instead.
