Osteopathic treatment for Sciatica
Sciatic pain may occur for a number of reasons, one of them may be pressure and inflammation on the nerve cause by a 'slipped' or herniated intervertebral disc.
Over contracted muscles and muscle spasm may also bring about sciatic pain or 'trapped nerve' pain.
An osteopath will use the most appropriate techniques to encourage the relaxation of these contracted muscles and realignment of the spine thereby relieving pressure on the affected nerve.
