Can Osteopathy Help Sciatica?
Posted on 24th March 2025 at 01:36
Sciatica is a common condition that causes pain, numbness, or tingling along the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back down through the legs. It is often caused by issues like herniated discs, muscle tightness, or spinal misalignment.
If you're struggling with sciatica, you may be wondering if osteopathy can help relieve your pain. The good news is, osteopathy offers a holistic, non-invasive approach to managing sciatica and improving mobility.
How Can Osteopathy Help Sciatica?
Osteopathy focuses on the body's natural ability to heal by improving movement, reducing tension, and restoring balance. Through hands-on techniques such as soft tissue massage, joint mobilization, and spinal adjustments, an osteopath can help:
Reduce nerve compression – Relieving pressure on the sciatic nerve can ease pain and discomfort.
Improve spinal alignment – Addressing postural imbalances helps prevent recurring issues.
Enhance circulation – Better blood flow can promote healing and reduce inflammation.
Release muscle tension – Tight muscles, especially in the lower back and glutes, can contribute to sciatic pain.
