Sciatica Treatment in East Grinstead
Osteopathic care for back and leg pain
Are you suffering from pain that radiates from your lower back into your leg? You may be dealing with sciatica—a common but often debilitating condition. At our East Grinstead osteopathy clinic, we help patients find relief from sciatic nerve pain through hands-on, personalised treatment.
What Causes Sciatica?
Sciatica happens when the sciatic nerve is irritated or compressed, often due to:
A herniated or bulging disc
Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spine)
Piriformis syndrome (muscle pressure on the nerve)
Poor posture or muscle imbalances
Injury or repetitive strain
Not all leg pain is true sciatica—some cases are referred pain from the hips or muscles. Our osteopaths in East Grinstead provide detailed assessments to identify the exact cause.
Red Flags: When to Seek Urgent Help
While most cases are treatable with osteopathy, watch for these signs that may need urgent medical attention:
Sudden loss of bladder or bowel control
Severe or worsening weakness in the leg
Pain after a major injury
Unexplained weight loss with back pain
These could indicate more serious conditions like cauda equina syndrome and require immediate care.
How Osteopathy Can Help
Osteopathy offers natural, non-invasive relief for sciatica by treating the root cause. At our East Grinstead clinic, we use:
Gentle spinal adjustments and joint mobilisations
Soft tissue massage to reduce tension
Tailored exercise advice
Postural and movement assessments
Ongoing support to prevent recurrence
Your first visit includes a full consultation and physical assessment. We’ll explain your diagnosis and create a clear treatment plan tailored to your needs. Many patients feel improvement within the first few sessions.
