Sciatica Treatment
Shooting pain, tingling or numbness from your lower back into your leg. We assess what's driving it and build a plan to help you move more comfortably.
Recognising Sciatica
Sciatica is pain that follows the path of the sciatic nerve. This is the longest nerve in the body, running from the lower back through the buttock and down each leg. Symptoms vary depending on where the nerve is irritated and how sensitive it has become.
Important
Please contact your GP, call NHS 111, or call 999 in an emergency, rather than booking with us, if you have:

What People Say
"Highly recommend for running-related issues. Jess put together a clear plan to get me ready for my marathon, and her communication was excellent throughout. Thank you!"
"Referred after an increasingly painful knee was impacting on my exercise. Hannah was very thorough in her investigation and analysis of the problem. I noticed a steady but sustained improvement following the recommended exercises over the first week. The exercises were subsequently changed up and the improvement sustained over the next two weeks. What definitely helped was the link between the Injury Active Clinic and the Barn. Hannah provided a briefing for the coaches, ensuring the gym sessions reinforced the recommended physio programme."
"Jess was so lovely and supportive throughout my time with her. She really helped build my confidence and get me back to doing the sports I love! I'm so grateful for all her help and would highly recommend :)"
