What is sciatica?
A description, not a diagnosis: pain travelling down the sciatic nerve distribution. The driver could be a disc, the piriformis, the SIJ, or referred pattern from a trigger point.
Our approach
Careful assessment to find the actual driver, tissue release along the nerve path, mobilisation, dry needling of glutes if indicated, and neural glide exercises. Osteopath Mitcham — hands-on osteopathy at Lifestyle Essentials, 503 Whitehorse Road, Mitcham.
