Lumbar Radiculopathy—often referred to as sciatica—is a condition that occurs when a nerve in the lower spine becomes irritated or compressed. This can cause radiating pain, numbness, or weakness that travels from the lower back down into the legs and feet. If you’ve experienced sharp or burning pain that seems to “shoot” down your leg, you’re likely familiar with how debilitating this condition can be.
At Isleworth Pain and Injury Clinic, we offer expert chiropractic and physiotherapy care designed to address the root causes of lumbar radiculopathy and bring long-lasting relief without relying on medications or invasive procedures.
