When you visit your chiropractor, one of the first things that they will do will be to assess your body and your symptoms to confirm a diagnosis of sciatica. Once this has been established, the treatment you will be offered may vary depending on the severity of your symptoms and the way in which your body responds to treatment. 

For many of us, our back pain will resolve itself without the need for more than pain relief. However, for any unlucky percentage of people, chronic back pain will affect them throughout their life and will compromise the way that they live it.
