Understanding Back Pain and Sciatica

Back pain and sciatica are common issue that affects millions of people worldwide, often hindering daily activities and reducing the quality of life. Sciatica, a specific type of back pain, occurs when the sciatic nerve is compressed, leading to pain that radiates from the lower back down through the legs.

At our clinic, we specialise in diagnosing and treating various forms of back pain and sciatica to help our patients regain mobility and live pain-free lives.
