Sciatica

Sciatica refers to pain that travels from the lower back down the back of one or both legs. It’s often caused by an injury to the lower back which irritates or compresses the sciatic nerve, the largest nerve in the body. This irritation can produce anything from a dull, nagging ache to sharp, shooting pain; it may also result in tingling or numbness in the foot.

Effective treatment starts with understanding why your sciatica has flared up. At Good Health Centre, we don’t just focus on the area that hurts – we assess your whole body to uncover all the factors contributing to your discomfort. In most cases, our practitioners can diagnose the cause during your first session, then create a tailored plan to relieve pressure on the nerve, reduce pain, and restore mobility. Whatever the cause, we are here to help ease the pain and get you moving freely and easily again.
