Sharp pain down your leg, numbness, or persistent lower back discomfort can make even simple movements difficult. These symptoms are often linked to sciatica or a herniated disc.
At London Chiropractic & Massage Clinic, we provide sciatica treatment in London, Ontario, focused on reducing irritation around sensitive nerves and restoring proper movement—so you can get back to normal activity.
What Is Sciatica?
Sciatica refers to irritation of the sciatic nerve, which runs from your lower back down into your legs.
Common symptoms include:
- Shooting pain down one leg
- Tingling or numbness
- Weakness in the leg or foot
- Lower back pain that worsens with sitting
What Is a Herniated Disc?
A herniated (or “slipped”) disc occurs when disc material extends outward and may irritate nearby tissues, including sensitive nerve structures.
This is one of the most common causes of sciatica.
How Chiropractic Care Helps
Our goal is to reduce nerve irritation, improve spinal movement, and help you return to normal activity.
Treatment may include:
- Targeted chiropractic treatment, which may include spinal adjustments where appropriate
- Cox® Technic Spinal Decompression
- Mobility-focused manual therapy
- Stabilization and rehabilitation exercises
Each plan is tailored based on your symptoms, examination findings, and functional goals.
Why Early Treatment Matters
For some people, symptoms can become more persistent over time, which is why early assessment can be helpful.

Muscle Tension & Overuse Injuries
Daily strain, repetitive movements, and poor posture can lead to tight muscles and discomfort. Massage helps release tension and restore healthy movement patterns.
Chronic Pain Conditions
Massage therapy can help manage persistent discomfort such as back pain, neck tension, and shoulder tightness by improving blood flow and reducing muscular restrictions.
Sports Injuries
For active individuals, massage supports muscle recovery, reduces soreness, and helps prevent recurring injuries.
Stress-Related Tension
Physical stress often presents as tightness in the neck, shoulders, and upper back. Therapeutic massage promotes relaxation while relieving built-up muscular tension.
Motor Vehicle Accident Injuries
We specialize in treating motor vehicle accident injuries. Massage therapy can be an important part of a structured recovery plan to restore mobility and reduce soft tissue discomfort following an accident.
