Chiropractor for Sciatica

Book an appointment

Sciatica can cause pain that travels from the lower back or buttock into the leg and sometimes the foot. Symptoms can vary considerably and may be accompanied by stiffness, altered sensation or difficulty moving comfortably.

At London Harley Street Practice, our chiropractor can assess your symptoms and determine whether gentle chiropractic treatment is appropriate.
Our chiropractor is McTimoney trained, using a gentle, low-force approach based on precise and controlled adjustments rather than forceful manipulation. Your assessment considers your lower back, pelvis, hips, posture and movement, helping to understand the factors contributing to your symptoms. Treatment may include gentle chiropractic adjustments, mobilisation, soft-tissue techniques and advice on movement and exercises where appropriate.

Important medical assessment

Sciatica can have different causes and chiropractic treatment is not appropriate for everyone. Our priority is to assess your symptoms carefully and identify when further medical investigation or specialist assessment is required.

As our chiropractic service operates within a private GP practice, appropriate medical assessment and onward referral can be considered when necessary. Our aim is to provide personalised care while ensuring that your symptoms are managed safely and appropriately.
