Sciatica FAQs

Questions people ask about sciatica

If you’re wondering about anything else, just give us a call — we’re happy to help.

Do I need a GP referral?

No. Chiropractors are primary healthcare practitioners, so you can book directly with us — many GPs actually refer their patients to our clinic. Most private health insurance providers cover all or part of the cost of treatment. Please check your individual policy.

Will I need an X-Ray for my sciatica?

Only if it will genuinely help. Our on-site digital X-Ray can refine your diagnosis, providing detailed information about specific areas of your spine and your condition. We’ll always discuss it with you first — and only take images when there’s a clear clinical reason.

Will treatment hurt?

Treatment involves precise adjustments of specific joints, and these are typically painless. Some techniques produce a “click” or “pop” sound from the joint — a novel experience the first time, but still pain-free. Your chiropractor will explain everything before starting.

What if chiropractic isn’t right for my sciatica?

We’ll tell you straight. If your examination suggests you’d be better cared for elsewhere, we’ll explain why, refer you to your GP or an appropriate specialist, and — where helpful — write a short report to guide you to the right care.

Patients travel to us from Lymington, Highcliffe and Christchurch for sciatica treatment — and from right across the New Forest:
