Acupuncture for Sciatica Nottingham
Traditional Chinese Acupuncture for sciatica, nerve irritation and lower back tension
Sciatica can be frustrating, uncomfortable, and difficult to ignore. Symptoms may include discomfort in the lower back, buttock, hip, or leg, and can affect everyday activities such as walking, sitting, driving, and sleeping.
At Riverside Natural Health Centre, James provides acupuncture using a Traditional Chinese Medicine approach tailored to the individual. Treatment is planned around your symptoms, health history, lifestyle, and overall wellbeing.
Rather than focusing solely on the area of discomfort, acupuncture takes a broader view of the body and aims to support balance, recovery, and improved quality of life.

What happens during your appointment?
Your first appointment begins with a detailed consultation where James will discuss your symptoms, health history, lifestyle, activity levels, and treatment goals.
Acupuncture treatment uses very fine sterile needles selected according to your individual presentation and Traditional Chinese Medicine assessment.
Where appropriate, James may also discuss movement, recovery strategies, or complementary treatment options that may support your overall wellbeing.
Acupuncture and Tui Na for sciatica
Some clients may benefit from combining acupuncture with Tui Na massage, a traditional Chinese hands-on therapy that incorporates massage, mobilisation, stretching, and acupressure techniques.
Tui Na may be discussed where muscular tension, movement restriction, or broader physical discomfort are contributing factors.
