Experiencing Sciatic Nerve Discomfort?
Sciatica is a term commonly used to describe nerve-related discomfort radiating down the leg from the lower back or buttock. If you’re experiencing sharp pain, tingling, weakness or burning sensations in your lower body, booking with Glenn Strutt may help you understand and manage the physical contributors. Glenn offers Osteopathy sessions at our Cannon Hill Clinic, supporting patients across Brisbane.
