Sciatica

Sciatica is a type of nerve pain affecting a large bundle of nerves at the back of your leg. Rarely does nerve pain indicate a problem with the nerve itself but rather irritation or compression of the nerve at a (usually) higher level, for example, a pinched nerve at the spine. Our physios are skilled at finding the source of the pain and offering effecting treatments to relive the symptoms.
