What We Treat
Understanding Sciatica
Sciatica refers to pain and irritation that travels along the sciatic nerve, running from the lower back, through the glutes, and down the entire leg.
Crucially, sciatica can happen even without lower back pain. It is usually the result of a disc herniation, inflammation, or bony growths in the spine putting pressure on the nerve root. While painful, it is very common and often easily treatable with the right physiotherapy.

What We Treat
Nerve Pain in the Neck and Arm
Similar to sciatica, nerve pain can originate from the neck. If a nerve is impinged in the cervical spine (neck), it can radiate burning pain, pins and needles, or weakness down into the shoulder, arm, or hand.
