Are you struggling to sit, stand, or even sleep because of the relentless pain shooting down your leg? Sciatica can turn everyday activities into agonising challenges, leaving you searching for relief. At our Newcastle and Stoke on Trent chiropractic clinics, we understand how sciatica can affect your life and we’re here to help you find gentle, natural relief. If you’re looking for a Newcastle or Stoke chiropractor who listens and cares, you’re in the right place.
What Is Sciatica?
Sciatica isn’t a condition itself but a term used to describe pain caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, the longest nerve in your body. This nerve runs from your lower back, through your hips and buttocks, and down each leg.
When the sciatic nerve becomes irritated or pinched, it can cause:
- Sharp, shooting pain down one leg
- Burning or tingling sensations
- Numbness or weakness in the affected leg or foot
- Lower back pain that radiates into the hip or buttock
- Pain that worsens when sitting or standing for long periods
For many people, these symptoms can come and go, but for others, sciatica can become persistent and severely affect their quality of life.
How Chiropractic Can Help Sciatica
It’s important to understand that chiropractic care doesn’t “cure” sciatica because sciatica itself is a symptom, not a disease. However, chiropractic treatment can help address the underlying issues causing sciatic nerve irritation, providing natural and often significant relief.
At our Newcastle and Stoke chiropractic clinics, we start with a thorough assessment to identify the root cause of your sciatica, whether it’s:
- A herniated or bulging disc
- Spinal misalignment (subluxations)
- Muscle tension or inflammation
- Degenerative disc changes
Our chiropractors uses gentle, targeted chiropractic adjustments to help improve spinal alignment, reduce nerve pressure, and restore normal movement. We may also recommend stretches, strengthening exercises, and lifestyle advice to help manage your symptoms and prevent future flare-ups.
Many of our patients report reduced pain, improved mobility, and a better quality of life after chiropractic care.

First visit and professional from walk in to walking out.malcolm sawkins05/11/2024
First time I went was due to my very bad back pain, didn't have much hope as doctors didn't do anything just kept me on medication that wasn't easing my pain much. Dr Burcu Cetinkaya helped me more than i could say in words, she made a plan for me, did my treatments and gave me exercises to ease my pain and it worked amazingly. I am not struggling with back pain and very happy with the result. Recomand with trust.Nathaly Naty02/11/2024
