Here's the bit that surprises people most.

Because needling happens inside your chiropractic or sports therapy session, it's covered by the same policy. If your insurance covers chiro or sports therapy with us, it covers the needling we do during those appointments too.

No separate acupuncture cover to arrange. No different authorisation code. No extra charge from us on top of the session you're already having.

And you don't need to work out who to book with — Mike Richards (chiropractor), Yasmin McIsted (chiropractor) and Hannah Bolwell (sports therapist) are all trained in it.

Curious? Mention it at your next visit and we'll give you an honest answer on whether it'd help you.

So what actually is dry needling?

A trigger point is a tight, irritable knot inside a muscle that's stopped releasing on its own. It's the thing that keeps pulling a joint out of position however diligently you stretch.

Dry needling uses a very fine, single-use needle to reach it. "Dry" just means nothing is injected — the needle itself is the treatment. It's the same idea as pressing a knot with a thumb, except a needle reaches tissue a thumb can't, and it's far more specific about where it goes.

When it finds the right spot, the muscle often gives a small involuntary twitch. That twitch is the point. It's the muscle letting go.

"I didn't know you did that here!"

It's the reply we get most weeks. A patient has a muscle that won't let go, we suggest needling, and it turns out they had no idea it was an option.

So let's fix that. Mike, Yasmin and Hannah all use acupuncture and dry needling, and we use them most weeks in clinic. It isn't a separate service you have to go hunting for — if it's the right thing for your problem, it's simply part of your chiropractic or sports therapy session.

One part of recovery people forget: giving your body a calmer, better-fuelled system to heal in.

Especially in longstanding sciatica, where background inflammation can keep a nerve sensitive, nutrition can genuinely support recovery — think a less inflammatory diet, plenty of omega-3, and where it's right for you, targeted support like magnesium with B6, vitamin D, B12 and specific nerve-supportive options.

It's support, not a cure — and the right combination depends on you, so it's always a conversation, not a guess. We can also blood-test your foundations rather than assume.

Four simple things that help most sciatica settle

1️⃣ Keep gently moving — long bed rest tends to make a nerve more sensitive, not less.
2️⃣ Find the positions that ease things off, and use them.
3️⃣Avoid boom-and-bust — build activity back up gradually.
4️⃣ Be patient — many people improve over a few weeks, and a bad day isn't a step backwards.

None of this replaces a proper assessment, but it's a solid place to start. If yours isn't settling, that's what we're here for.

Why does some sciatica grumble on for months, even when the treatment and rehab are spot on?

Sometimes part of the answer is low-grade systemic inflammation — a slow, background level of inflammation that leaves sensitive tissues quicker to fire and slower to calm. Things like an ultra-processed diet, being low in omega-3, poor sleep and chronic stress all feed it.

For those stubborn cases we can go deeper: looking properly at diet, checking your foundations with blood testing rather than guessing, and using targeted nutrition to support a calmer, less inflamed system. Nutrients like magnesium (with B6), vitamin D, B12, and specific nerve supportive options can all play a role — as support, never a cure.

When you start care with us for sciatica, you don't just get treatment — you get a map. ️

Once we've assessed you, we sit down with you at a results appointment and give you a written report: what's actually going on, a realistic timeline for recovery, and the kind of care it'll take to get there. Then we review things regularly to make sure you're always trending in the right direction.

No guesswork, and no open-ended "just keep coming back forever". Just a clear plan and honest checkpoints — because you deserve to know where you stand.
