Understanding sciatica and nerve pain.

Nerve irritation in the lower spine is often referred to as lumbar radiculopathy and is commonly linked to conditions such as herniated discs or nerve compression in the lower back.

Symptoms can vary but often include:

  • Pain shooting down the leg
  • Burning pain
  • Tingling in the foot
  • Numbness in the leg

Many patients also notice that symptoms change depending on position or activity  worse with certain postures, easier with others and for some, sleep is where it’s most disruptive of all.
Terms like “trapped nerve” or “compressed disc” can sound alarming, but they don’t tell the whole story. A thorough assessment helps us understand what’s driving your symptoms and, more importantly, what we can do about them.

How we help.

Identify what’s irritating the nerve

We assess spinal movement, nerve sensitivity and how your symptoms respond to different positions and activities. This helps us identify the likely driver — whether that’s disc-related sciatica, a trapped nerve, or another form of lumbar nerve irritation.
You’ll leave your first appointment understanding exactly where your symptoms are coming from, and what we’re going to do about it.

Calm the irritation and restore movement

Treatment is tailored to you, focused on reducing nerve irritation, improving spinal movement and calming sensitivity through a combination of joint mobilisation, soft tissue work, and targeted nerve mobility techniques guided by your assessment findings.
The goal is progress, not a quick fix.

Reduce the risk of it coming back

Building resilience here means restoring spinal control and strength progressively, rather than rushing back to full load too soon, which is particularly important if you’ve experienced repeated flare-ups or persistent symptoms like burning pain down the leg.

When should you seek help?

A professional assessment is worth arranging if:

  • Pain is travelling into your leg or foot
  • You’re experiencing tingling, numbness or weakness
  • Symptoms are worsening with sitting, standing or movement
  • Sleep is being disrupted
  • Symptoms keep returning

Progressive leg weakness, or any change in bladder or bowel function, needs urgent medical assessment rather than a routine appointment.

Take the next step.
