Sciatica Treatment in Hereford
Sciatica can cause pain, tingling, numbness or weakness that travels from your lower back into your buttock and down your leg. The pain can range from a mild ache to severe discomfort that affects walking, sitting and sleeping.
At Elite Performance Therapy, we begin with a thorough assessment to identify the cause of your symptoms before creating a personalised treatment plan designed to reduce pain and help you return to normal daily activities.
We commonly help people with:
- Pain travelling down the leg
- Sciatic nerve pain
- Lower back pain with leg pain
- Tingling or numbness
- Muscle weakness
- Disc-related nerve irritation
- Persistent or recurring sciatica
What Causes Sciatica?
Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve becomes irritated or compressed. This can happen for a number of reasons, including disc injuries, joint stiffness, muscle tightness or changes within the spine.
A detailed assessment helps identify the underlying cause of your symptoms so treatment can be tailored to your individual needs rather than simply treating the pain.
How We Can Help
Every appointment begins with a thorough assessment to understand what’s causing your symptoms.
Treatment may include hands-on therapy, soft tissue techniques, stretching, mobility work, a personalised rehabilitation programme and, where appropriate, medical acupuncture (dry needling). Every treatment plan is tailored to your individual needs and goals.
Our aim isn’t simply to reduce your pain. We want to improve movement, reduce pressure on the irritated tissues where possible and help prevent your symptoms from returning.
Helping Prevent Sciatica Returning
Recovery doesn’t stop when your pain improves. We’ll provide practical advice and simple exercises to improve mobility, strengthen the supporting muscles and reduce the risk of future flare-ups.

What our clients say:
A friend recommended I visit Isy for serious problems with my back. 2 slipped discs & sciatica. My back kept collapsing & I could barely walk. Isy firstly spent time finding out exactly what my issues where & then get to work on my back. After only 3 sessions with Isy I was pain free!! Isy is passionate about what she does & really cares about her patients. She goes above & beyond to help & checks in with you after treatment. I would highly recommend her!!
