Do you experience a tingling, aching or burning sensation in your lower back, buttock, hip or down the back of your leg? If so, you could very well be experiencing sciatic nerve Sciatic Nerve Treatment Imagepain, also known as sciatica. Other possible symptoms of sciatic nerve impairment are weakness and numbness along the nerve pathway of the leg and foot.

The sciatic nerve is the thickest nerve in the body (about as thick as your pinkie). It originates in the lower back, runs through the buttock and down the back of the leg. Sciatica isn’t a disorder, but rather, a range of symptoms caused by other health issues such as:
  • Piriformis syndrome
  • A slipped disc or spinal disc herniation
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Spinal stenosis
  • Pelvic injury or fracture
  • Irritation of sciatic nerve during pregnancy
  • Spondylolisthesis
  • Long-term habits e.g. sitting on your wallet or standing for long periods

If you are suffering from sciatic pain then you are in need of an effective sciatic nerve treatment – Bowen Therapy. 

Bowen Therapy is a gentle soft tissue therapy that jumpstarts the body’s innate healing capacity.  It is highly effective for those suffering with sciatic nerve pain. Below is an account of how Bowen was able to help as a form of sciatic nerve treatment:

“I am amazed at the degree of pain that has been alleviated from my legs and knees after so many years of constant acute pain in my sciatic area, after receiving Bowen treatment. I am able to continue with my normal sporting activities without the constant reminder of ‘pain’ and especially where any form of exercise on a gradient is required.”
Veronique Donaldson, Wahroonga

Using Bowen Therapy as a sciatic nerve treatment I have had some of the most remarkable and consistently good results I have seen as a practitioner. Bowen Therapy is superb in addressing sciatica, as well as, other issues in the lumbar/pelvic region including lower back pain, hip pain, hip flexor issues and sacroiliac pain.
