Sciatica can cause pain, tingling or numbness that travels from the lower back into the leg, making everyday activities more challenging. In this blog, we explore what sciatica is, common contributing factors, and how osteopathy may support recovery through individualised assessment, movement, rehabilitation and self-management strategies.

Many people associate osteopathy with back pain, neck pain and sports injuries, but osteopaths assess and manage a much broader range of musculoskeletal conditions that can affect movement, function and quality of life. Osteopathy is not limited to spinal pain, and a registered osteopath can help determine whether your concern is appropriate for assessment and discuss the most suitable options for care.
