How to treat sciatic pain?

The pain travelling down the buttocks or legs typically comes from pressure or irritation of the sciatic nerve and the pain can take over someone’s life. What we need to do is to take pressure off the nerve! A common cause of sciatica is a bulging or herniated disc in the lower back where the wall of the disc in our spine pushes outwards and presses on to the nerve. It is quite a complex process but compression of the disc and stiffness in the spinal segment can create the environment for a disc to bulge or herniate.

To address the problem we need to decompress the affected disc and ease the stiffness in the spinal segment, to improve mobility and ultimately function.

Here at the clinic, we use manual therapy and exercise to achieve this, but where a problem is not responding to hand on treatment we use IDD Therapy spinal decompression.

IDD is a mechanical treatment which applies computer-controlled pulling forces at precisely-measured angles to decompress and mobilise TARGETED spinal segments. As part of a programme of care, we can help people with the most stubborn sciatica, easing their pain and enabling them to get their life back.

If you or someone you know is struggling with sciatica, contact the clinic to arrange a consultation. We’re here to help you.

Helping local people stay fit and healthy

Our clinic established by Physiotherapist, Garry O'Dell and Osteopath, Gillian Brown carry over 40 years of experience and specialise in back care, sports injuries and orthotics.

We pride ourselves on being a centre of excellence in diagnosing and treating spinal issues to the people of Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire. We use our unique blend of hands-on manipulation technique combined with state-of-the-art technology to offer the most advanced approach to spinal and back care available in the UK. This unique approach has given us great success in treating the most difficult of spinal injuries such as disc problems.

Garry and Gillian have both been in private practice for many years and joined forces to open Harpenden Sportsnspinal in 2017. The clinic now is in a prime town position just off the main high street and 5 minutes walk from Harpenden Train station.

Last year the clinic invested in the latest spinal decompression machine IDD (Intervertebral Disc Decompression) which was brought over from America to enable the clinic to help patients with chronic spinal problems and troublesome disc injuries. They are now able to help patients in a safe, non-invasive way preventing many patients from needing injections or surgery. They are now one of 40 clinics in the UK to offer this most advanced treatment for disc injuries.
