Sciatica
Everyday patterns
Tight buttock muscles
A tight muscle deep in the buttock can irritate the sciatic nerve as it passes by.
Stiff lower back joints
Stiffness and wear in the joints of the lower spine can narrow the space around the nerves.
Long hours sitting
Sitting for long periods increases pressure on your lower back and can aggravate sciatic pain.
Lifting and twisting
A sudden lift or twist can bring on sciatica, especially if your back is already stiff.

“Before I came to see him, I was feeling really unwell and was in a lot of pain. After just three treatments, I felt an incredible difference. My pain had almost completely gone, and I finally started feeling like myself again. He is not only extremely professional and knowledgeable, but also so friendly, caring and warm. He takes the time to listen, explains everything clearly.”
