Sciatica and Nerve Pain Support in Durham and Sedgefield

Sciatica can be difficult to ignore. When pain travels from the lower back into the buttock, hip or leg, or when numbness, tingling or weakness starts to interfere with walking, sitting or sleeping, it is understandable to want clear answers and sensible help.

At Durham Family Chiropractic, the team focus on identifying the source of the irritation, not simply chasing the symptoms. Sciatica is not a diagnosis on its own. It is usually a sign that a nerve is being irritated or compressed, often somewhere around the lower back or pelvis.

Specialist support for sciatica, nerve pain and mobility problems,

with a clear plan from the outset.

Common signs of sciatica or nerve irritation

Because nerve-related pain can present in different ways, accurate assessment is essential. The pattern of symptoms, physical findings and clinical history all help to build a clearer picture.

Sharp or shooting pain travelling from the lower back into the buttock or leg.

Pins and needles, tingling or numbness in the leg, foot or toes.

Pain that is aggravated by sitting, standing, bending or getting in and out of the car.

A feeling of weakness through the leg or hip when walking or climbing stairs.

Recurring flare-ups that are affecting confidence, mobility or daily routine.

A precise approach to sciatica relief

At your initial consultation, we carry out a thorough history and physical examination to understand the source of the problem as clearly as possible.

Care may include

Flexion-distraction based care where appropriate, particularly for patients with symptoms linked to disc irritation or sensitivity in the lower back.

Chiropractic adjustments aimed at improving spinal and pelvic mechanics to reduce unnecessary stress on irritated structures.

Techniques to support better nerve mobility and movement tolerance over time.

Adjunctive therapies such as acupuncture or massage when these are likely to support recovery and symptom control.

Practical advice on environment, positions, pacing and movement strategies to help you cope better between visits.

We will always explain what we believe is happening, what we are looking to improve and whether chiropractic care appears suitable for your situation. If another route is more appropriate, we will tell you.

“Been visiting DFC for over twenty years. These guys keep me feeling great and pain free. I cannot recommend them highly enough. If you have any sort of back pain, do not hesitate to visit them. They will thoroughly assess you before undertaking any treatment programme and, crucially, will tell you if they cannot help you. The receptionists are lovely too!”

Take the first step towards relief

Sciatica can quickly become the sort of problem that shapes your day around it. Early assessment can help you understand what is going on and what care options may be available before the problem becomes even more stubborn.

We take time to understand the problem properly, explain our findings clearly and outline what care options may be appropriate for you.
