Treat Sciatica With A Sciatica Specialist in Southport
Sciatica can affect your day-to-day immensely. As a condition, it impacts your movement, flexibility, muscle tension and nerves. We specialise in providing targeted treatments that help clients relieve symptoms, working through customised exercise and treatment plans. By addressing muscle imbalances, we help to alleviate the underlying causes of sciatic pain, leading to effective change and recovery.
How Do We Diagnose Sciatica?
Accurate Diagnosis: To treat sciatica we begin with an accurate diagnosis, identifying the underlying cause of the condition. Whether it's related to a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, or issues with the gluteal muscles, pinpointing the specific source of the pain is essential for developing an effective treatment plan.
Comprehensive Assessment: Our diagnostic process involves consulting your symptoms, medical history and physical examination. We pay close attention to the location, severity, and nature of your pain, as well as any accompanying symptoms such as numbness or tingling.
Tailored Treatment Plans
Personalised Approach: We understand that sciatic pain can stem from various underlying causes, including nerve compression, muscle tightness, or spinal issues. Our approach, therefore, is highly personalised, taking into account your unique symptoms, medical history and treatment goals.
Nerve Flossing: For those experiencing nerve-related sciatic pain, we incorporate specialised techniques into treatment plans, involving gentle movements that help mobilise and release tension on the affected nerves. The targeted treatment is particularly effective in cases where the sciatic nerve is compressed or irritated, providing relief and restoring mobility.
Muscle Stretching: Muscle tightness and tension can exacerbate sciatic pain by compressing the nerves and restricting movement. As part of our comprehensive treatment approach, we include targeted stretching exercises to alleviate muscle tightness and improve flexibility. By incorporating specific stretches that target the muscles surrounding the lower back, hips and legs, we help alleviate pressure on the sciatic nerve to reduce discomfort.
How Our Injury Specialist Treatment Alleviates & Reduces Symptoms
Nurturing Nerve Health: Targeted techniques can reduce inflammation and compression around the sciatic nerve, easing pain and discomfort by reducing pressure on the affected area.
