Sciatica
I’m now in a great place and hitting the gym 5 times a week again and hoping to smash my first 5k since having sciatica!
I can’t speak highly enough of this place, I wouldn’t go anywhere else. I was suffering with severe sciatica and after visiting various other chiropractors and physios in the previous few months my condition was not improving but Fortunately I came across Kasa. Matt was really understanding of the situation, did some X-rays and decided on a two prong approach with Luke (a physio in the Southville branch) which was different to other recommendations to date.
I was given regular acupuncture and a bit of trigger pointing at adjustments too. You’d be surprised how many chiro’s just want to churn out clients and not even have a prod of your muscles for tense spots let alone give acupuncture. The adjustments also varied to suit how my body was reacting to ensure I was properly aligned and this variety really helped as my body adapted.
Luke gave me various exercises which increased in intensity as time progressed, provided useful tips for muscle relief at home and was overall exceptional. He used various methods, soft tissue massage, suction cups, acupuncture, and he also taught me the difference between stretching and nerve gliding to avoid irritation. After a few hiccups along the way as I tried to get back into sport, I’m now in a great place and hitting the gym 5 times a week again and hoping to smash my first 5k since having sciatica.
I’ll be popping in for an MOT from time to time but, Matt, Luke and the rest of the team at Kasa were fantastic and I can’t thank them enough for their help.
