What is Sciatica? Symptoms, Causes & Treatment

Suffering from sharp pain in your lower back that travels down your leg? You may be experiencing sciatica, a condition caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve.

Common symptoms include:

Shooting pain from the lower back to the foot
Burning or “electric shock” sensations
Tingling or numbness in the leg or foot
Pain worsened by sitting, bending, or coughing

Sciatica is often linked to disc bulges (slipped discs), spinal stenosis, or repetitive strain on the lower back.

The good news: Most cases improve within weeks with the right treatment.

At MyMSK Clinic, we offer:

Expert diagnosis and assessment
Tailored rehabilitation and physiotherapy advice
Ultrasound-guided spinal injections for pain relief

When to seek urgent help:
If you notice leg weakness, loss of bladder/bowel control, or numbness in the saddle area, seek immediate medical attention.

Don’t let sciatica control your life.

Pain in the Foot: Morton’s Neuroma

Experiencing sharp or burning pain in the ball of your foot? You may be dealing with Morton’s Neuroma, a common condition caused by irritation or compression of the nerve between the third and fourth toes.

Patients often describe the sensation as walking on a pebble or a bunched-up sock. Symptoms can include:

Pain in the ball of the foot
Tingling or numbness in the toes
Burning sensations
Pain that worsens in tight or high-heeled shoes

Morton’s Neuroma is more common in women and is often linked to narrow footwear, foot deformities (such as bunions or hammer toes), and high-impact activities.

Diagnosis & Treatment
At MyMSK Clinic, we provide thorough assessment including clinical tests and, if needed, imaging such as ultrasound or MRI.

Treatment options include:

Footwear advice and orthotics
Targeted exercises
Activity modification
Pain relief strategies
Corticosteroid injections for persistent symptoms

At MyMSK Clinic Manchester, we offer comprehensive assessment and non-surgical treatments for pr*****ed discs, including spinal injections, caudal epidural injections, prolotherapy, and targeted rehabilitation to reduce pain and improve mobility.
