Sciatica Treatment in Canberra
At Motion Wellness, we understand how sciatica can cause sharp pain, numbness, or tingling down your leg, making everyday activities challenging. Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve is irritated or compressed, often due to a misaligned spine, herniated disc, or muscle tension. Our experienced chiropractors in Canberra provide patient care to help relieve sciatic pain and restore mobility.
Why Sciatica Happens
Sciatica develops when the sciatic nerve is pinched or inflamed. Common causes include:
-
Herniated or bulging discs in the lower back
-
Muscle tension or spasms in the lower back or hips
-
Poor posture or prolonged sitting
-
Degenerative changes in the spine

Our chiropractors take the time to identify the root cause of your sciatica and create an effective, tailored treatment plan.
