With clinics in Wallington and Morden, we’re here to help you move better and live without pain.
What Is Sciatica—and Why It Hurts
Sciatica refers to pain caused by pressure or irritation of the sciatic nerve, the largest nerve in your body. You may feel:
- Pain radiating from the lower back into the buttock, thigh, or foot
- Numbness, pins and needles, or weakness in one leg
- Discomfort made worse by sitting, standing, or coughing
In many cases, this is linked to a slipped or herniated disc, piriformis syndrome, or spinal misalignment—all of which MDOsteo’s osteopaths are trained to identify and treat.
How MDOsteo Treats Sciatica and Disc Issues
We don’t just treat symptoms—we address the root cause. At MDOsteo, our osteopathic approach includes:
- 1. Comprehensive Assessment
We begin with a detailed case history and physical examination to understand the source of your pain—whether it’s a disc bulge, tight piriformis, or spinal imbalance.
- 2. Targeted Manual Treatment
Our experienced osteopaths use a combination of techniques such as:
- Joint mobilisation to reduce pressure on spinal nerves
- Soft tissue release to ease muscle tension and inflammation
- Spinal adjustments where appropriate to restore alignment.
- Piriformis release and pelvic balancing when relevant
- 3. Exercise & Movement Advice
We’ll guide you through simple, effective exercises tailored to your condition—designed to:
Relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve
Build core and pelvic stability
Prevent future flare-ups
- 4. Ongoing Support & Prevention
Our goal is long-term recovery, not just short-term relief. We’ll equip you with postural advice, ergonomic tips, and lifestyle guidance to help prevent recurrence.
What About Piriformis Syndrome?
Sometimes sciatica-like symptoms come from piriformis syndrome—when a small muscle in your buttock traps or irritates the sciatic nerve. Our osteopaths are trained to diagnose and treat piriformis dysfunction through:
Joint manipulation
Deep tissue massage
Myofascial release
Targeted stretching and strengthening
This often gets missed in general care—but not here.
