Stuart first came to see us back in 2022 after experiencing ๐’๐œ๐ข๐š๐ญ๐ข๐œ๐š ๐Ÿ˜–

He experienced a common onset for sciatica where it starts as low back pain...

Before progressing into leg pain ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Problems like this require a ๐‘ด๐’–๐’๐’•๐’Š-๐‘ญ๐’‚๐’„๐’•๐’๐’“๐’Š๐’‚๐’ approach ๐Ÿง‘โ€โš•๏ธ

We also had to look at Stuart's job to see what could have been preventing his recovery day-to-day ๐Ÿ—“๏ธ

Whilst we always endeavour to try to keep people in work and continuing with their normal daily tasks...

Sometimes we have to go about them in different ways to prevent them from interrupting with your recovery.

For Stuart, this meant taking regular breaks between jobs at work

This meant that Stuart was able to continue working whilst also seeing his pain decrease ๐Ÿ“‰

We now see Stuart for quarterly check ups and help him to stay on top of his aches and pains ๐Ÿง‘โ€โš•๏ธ

Exercise has been repeatedly shown within the scientific literature ๐Ÿ”ฌ ๐Ÿ“ to be the most effective option in the treatment of musculoskeletal pain โšก

This takes many different forms in treatment...

Your chiropractor may simply request that you go walking more regularly ๐Ÿšถ or they could recommend some low back strengthening exercises ๐Ÿ’ช ๐Ÿ‹๏ธ

The exercise that we prescribe will be directly influenced by the patientโ€™s overall ๐—ด๐—ผ๐—ฎ๐—น for treatment and what they are physically able to do when we start.

With our exercise prescription, we aim to meet patients where they are and then progress this over time ๐Ÿ“ˆ

There are a variety of causes of sciatica, ranging from...

Inflammation ๐Ÿ”ฅ to...

Nerve root compression from a bulging disc ๐Ÿฅ

Symptoms can vary from mild to very severe.

The pain is typically accompanied by neurological symptoms, such as pins and needles ๐Ÿงท ๐Ÿ’‰ numbness or weakness ๐Ÿ“‰ in associated muscles.

Pain levels can also be affected by lifestyle factors,such as sleep quality or quantity ๐Ÿ˜ด and stress levels ๐Ÿ˜–

Clearly identifying the most likely cause to your symptoms, as well as the lifestyle factors that are contributing to your pain, is key in finding the most effective way to help you recover.

For example, if stress is playing a role in your overall pain levels, then your chiropractor may suggest some form of stress management ๐Ÿง‘โ€โš•๏ธ

Early identification of the problem and an accurate management strategy are key to reducing symptom levels as quickly as possible โœ…

Unfortunately, in the Western World around one third of all adults does not get enough exercise โŒ

Low levels of physical exercise ๐Ÿ“‰ are also a reason why a patient of ours might be suffering with back pain โšก

Our most commonly recommended form of exercise is walking ๐Ÿšถ

We keep it really simple and just focus on increasing the number of daily steps ๐Ÿ‘ฃ that a patient is taking

Not only does this help to reduce levels of pain, but it has a significant number of other health benefits as well โœ…

This is Peter ๐Ÿ‘‹

Peter came to us last summer for back pain that had been on going for YEARS! ๐Ÿ—“๏ธ

Even though the pain level was relatively low, Peter was concerned that it was going to end up in a big flare up ๐Ÿ”ฅ โŒ

Generally speaking, Peter was actually looking after himself very well...

He was getting adequate sleep ๐Ÿ˜ด

Reported low stress levels ๐Ÿ“‰

And was exercising plenty ๐Ÿ‹๏ธ

Because there no lifestyle factors that needed addressing, we focussed our treatment on his ๐‘ท๐’‰๐’š๐’”๐’Š๐’„๐’‚๐’ ๐‘น๐’†๐’‰๐’‚๐’ƒ๐’Š๐’๐’Š๐’•๐’‚๐’•๐’Š๐’๐’

At our last check up in early March, Peter stated that he had been doing lots of heavy work in the garden ๐ŸŒป and had experienced NO low back pain afterwards ๐ŸŽ‰

The most important thing in Peter's case was making sure that we had a good basis of understanding of his problem...

Only then could we design him a treatment plan that would deliver him such fantastic results ๐Ÿ“ˆ

Andrew came to us in October last year after having had his third significant flare up of low back pain in the last 12 months ๐Ÿ—“๏ธ

After working with us since then Andrew is now managing his pain well and enjoying his cherished activities again ๐Ÿ™Œ

Multi Factorial Low Back Pain accounts for around 91% of back pain cases...

It's very rarely something to be worried about, but it can be very recurrent โ†ฉ๏ธ

(as Andrew had found!)

The key ๐Ÿ”‘ to successful treatment is to understand why patient's are getting so many episodes

You have a 70% chance of having another episode of low back pain within 12 months of your last one, so it's important get a plan laid out as early as possible!

One of the most common reasons we see for patients getting recurrent episodes of pain is that they are not exercising enough ๐Ÿ‹๏ธ ๐Ÿšด ๐Ÿšถ

We took the very simple measure to increase the number of steps ๐Ÿ‘ฃ Andrew takes each day

We also used other techniques, such as...

Amy first came to see us in August 2025 after she had been experiencing low back pain and sciatica for around ๐Ÿ” ๐ฒ๐ž๐š๐ซ๐ฌ!

The pain had gotten progressively worse and was stopping her from doing every activities, like going to the ๐’ˆ๐’š๐’Ž ๐Ÿ‹๏ธ

She even had an MRI that showed she had nerve impingement โšก at the base of her spine ๐Ÿฆด

Because Amy had a very clear cause of her leg pain, we had to address before we started to address her longer term goal of returning to the gym...

We began with a heavy focus on ๐ฌ๐ฉ๐ž๐œ๐ข๐Ÿ๐ข๐œ ๐ซ๐ž๐ก๐š๐› to de-sensitise the nerve root that was causing her leg pain ๐Ÿ“‰

Once that was beginning to show improvement, we then shifted our focus to gentle gym workouts...

Then slowly progressed to more demanding workouts once Amy was ready ๐Ÿ“ˆ

I'm writing this post 7 months since we started treatment and Amy is now at the point where she hardly notices her problem at all! ๐Ÿคฉ

We now see Amy once every 3 months for a check up!

Phoebe first came to see us back in Autumn 2023 ๐Ÿ—“๏ธ

She had been struggling with low back pain for several weeks prior to her visit

Her pain was significantly aggravated by dancing at college ๐Ÿ’ƒ

The difficulty with Phoebe's case was navigating her need to dance on a regular basis in order to complete her college course, alongside us trying to get her pain level to down ๐Ÿ“‰

With every patient we endeavour to interrupt their lives as little as possible with our treatment...

In Phoebe's case this simply meant putting time restrictions on her dancing initially โฑ๏ธ but also encouraging her to remain active to a level where her pain levels were not excessive

These restrictions alongside on going treatment in clinic, meant that we were able to get Phoebe's pain levels down, whilst STILL allowing her to participate in her college course โœ…

When Phoebe comes home from uni ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐ŸŽ“ she pops in to see us for a check up a few times a year ๐Ÿง‘โ€โš•๏ธ

A lot of the time patients are given advice that centres around sleeping positions or mattress type... ๐Ÿ›๏ธ

Unfortunately, this advice would NOT constitute good, evidence-backed advice ๐Ÿ”ฌ

Disruptions in quality โœ… and quantity โฑ๏ธ of sleep seem to play a more significant role in the development of long term low back pain.

Putting your efforts towards these areas, instead of spending thousands ๐Ÿ’ฐ on fancy mattresses and pillows will be more likely to deliver you success in your back pain management

In order to achieve this, we recommend using Sleep Hygiene protocols ๐Ÿ˜ด

We outline all of the steps that you need to follow in our blog!
