If you’ve been told sciatica is just a “trapped nerve,” you’re not alone. In clinic, it’s rarely that simple.

What I often see is a combination of things happening at the same time — tight glute muscles, an irritated piriformis, local inflammation, and a sensitised sciatic nerve all feeding into one another. That’s why symptoms can persist even when people stretch or rest.

This is where acupuncture can be very effective. Rather than focusing on the nerve alone, treatment aims to:

Help muscles release

Settle inflammation

Calm the nervous system’s pain response

In this session, I also used supportive therapies to work alongside the acupuncture:
✨ Cupping to release deeper muscle tension and improve local circulation
✨ Gentle heat to warm the area, ease stiffness, and support tissue recovery

Together, these approaches are designed to reduce pressure on the sciatic nerve and interrupt the pain cycle.

Sciatica often needs more than stretching alone. It usually responds best when the nervous system settles, muscles let go, and inflammation is given a chance to calm.

Always good to hear how someone feels the following day — especially when pain has been interfering with sleep for a long time.

If sciatica has been lingering or disrupting your sleep, you’re welcome to get in touch to see whether this approach is suitable for you.

Do you live with ongoing pain?

If you’re tired of feeling stiff, sore, or limited, I help people with pain in the:
back, hips, neck, shoulders, arms, legs, knees, ankles, hands, and head.

People often tell me they:

Feel tight, heavy, or restricted

Notice pain flares when sitting, standing, or sleeping

Hear themselves thinking “I just want this to ease”

My work focuses on helping the body settle, release tension, and move more comfortably — not just masking symptoms.

When Anxiety Hits, It Doesn’t Always Look the Same

For some people, anxiety shows up as images in the mind — worst-case scenarios, replaying moments, seeing everything that could go wrong.

For others, it’s the noise — a busy mind that won’t switch off, constant “what if” thoughts, an inner voice that won’t settle.

And for many, it’s felt in the body — a tight chest, racing heart, dizziness, nausea, or a sudden urge to escape even when everything seems “fine.”

If you’ve tried to fit your experience into someone else’s label and it hasn’t helped, that’s not a failure. It’s information.

Your nervous system responds in its own way, which means effective support has to meet how you experience anxiety, not a category.

I work with people who:

Feel overwhelmed without knowing why
Experience sudden panic in otherwise “safe” situations
Are tired of coping strategies that don’t stick

Using practical, individualised techniques, we focus on the underlying response driving your symptoms — not just managing them.

Support is available online or in person.
