When pain travels beyond the lower back
Sciatica is often described as pain that travels from the lower back into the hip, buttock or leg. For some people, it may feel sharp or shooting. For others, symptoms are more dull, achy or accompanied by tingling, pins and needles or weakness.
Sciatic-type symptoms can be unsettling, especially when pain extends down the leg. At Axminster Chiropractic Clinic, we take time to assess how your symptoms present, where pain is felt and what movements or positions make it better or worse.

How Axminster chiropractic care may help sciatica
Chiropractic care focuses on how the lower back, pelvis and surrounding structures are moving and working together. When movement is restricted or strain builds up, this can contribute to irritation along the sciatic nerve pathway.
Where appropriate, treatment aims to improve movement, reduce muscle tension and support more comfortable positions and movement patterns. Care is always tailored to your symptoms and comfort level, using gentle, evidence-based techniques.
