Effective, lasting relief from sciatica and nerve pain at our Glenfield and Orewa clinics. Osteopathy, acupuncture, massage and physiotherapy working together to release nerve compression and restore pain-free movement.
Sciatica is one of the most debilitating pain conditions we treat at Premier Wellness — and one where a multidisciplinary approach makes a significant difference. The shooting, burning or electric pain that travels from the lower back down through the buttock and leg is caused by compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve, and effective treatment requires addressing both the structural cause and the nerve inflammation itself.
Our Glenfield clinic serves patients across the North Shore — from Albany and Takapuna to Birkenhead, Northcote and Forrest Hill — while our Orewa clinic provides the same specialist sciatica care to patients in Silverdale, Millwater, Whangaparaoa and the wider Hibiscus Coast.
What makes Premier Wellness particularly effective for sciatica is the combination of osteopathy to release the structural compression, acupuncture to calm the inflamed nerve and reduce pain signals, and massage to release the piriformis and surrounding muscles that often contribute to sciatic nerve irritation. This integrated approach consistently delivers faster relief than any single treatment alone.
Our North Shore team treats the full spectrum of sciatic and nerve-related pain presentations.
Our multidisciplinary team uses six evidence-based modalities and can combine them for faster, more lasting results.
Osteopathy directly addresses the structural causes of sciatica — disc compression, sacroiliac joint dysfunction, lumbar vertebral restriction and piriformis tightness. Our North Shore osteopaths use gentle mobilisation, soft tissue work and targeted manipulation to decompress the nerve and restore spinal alignment.
Osteopathy North ShoreAcupuncture is exceptionally effective for nerve pain and sciatica — it reduces neurological inflammation, interrupts pain signal transmission and stimulates the body's natural pain-relieving endorphins. Many sciatica patients who have not responded to manual therapy alone find significant relief through acupuncture.
Acupuncture AucklandThe piriformis muscle — which the sciatic nerve passes through or alongside — is frequently hypertonic in sciatica patients. Deep tissue massage to the piriformis, glutes, hamstrings and lower back releases the muscular tension compressing the nerve and complements osteopathic treatment.
Massage AucklandPhysiotherapy for sciatica focuses on core strengthening, lumbar stabilisation and correcting the movement patterns that place repeated stress on the sciatic nerve. Exercise rehabilitation reduces recurrence rates significantly and helps patients return to full activity.
Physiotherapy AucklandFor chronic or recurring sciatica, functional medicine investigates the systemic inflammatory drivers — diet, gut health, metabolic factors — that can amplify nerve pain and slow recovery. Particularly valuable for patients whose sciatica has not resolved with manual treatment alone.
Functional MedicineAn anti-inflammatory nutritional approach reduces systemic inflammation that aggravates nerve pain. Our nutritionists assess dietary patterns contributing to inflammation and develop personalised protocols to support nerve healing and pain reduction from within.
