The problem

Sciatica at HEXA

Sciatica — pain, pins and needles or weakness that travels from the back into the buttock and down the leg — usually comes from an irritated nerve in the lower back. It can be alarming, but the large majority of cases settle well with the right guidance and movement.

We work out what's irritating the nerve, ease the symptoms, then give you a clear, progressive plan to unload the source so it settles and stays settled.

Common symptoms

  • Pain radiating down the leg
  • Pins, needles or numbness
  • Worse sitting or bending
  • Linked to low back pain
