Pain shooting down your leg?
That burning or numb feeling down your leg usually isn't a leg problem. It's a nerve getting pinched or irritated in your lower back.
Check the common signsDoes any of this sound like you?
A lot of people put up with these for months, hoping it goes away on its own. If you nodded at two or more, it's worth getting checked.
- 01Pain from the buttock down the back of the leg
- 02Numbness or pins and needles in the leg or foot
- 03Worse when sitting or driving
- 04Sharp pain when you cough or sneeze
- 05One leg feels weaker
- 06Hard to stand straight after sitting
So why does it keep coming back?
Painkillers and massage help for a few days. But if whatever is causing it doesn't change, the pain usually returns. For most people it's a mix of these.
Disc bulge
A bulging disc in the lower back can press on the sciatic nerve roots.
Stiff lower back joints
Narrowed space around the nerve can irritate it with movement.
Tight piriformis
A tight buttock muscle can squeeze the nerve as it passes through.
Long sitting
Sitting increases pressure on the lower discs and the nerve.
What we do differently
Many of our patients tried massage, painkillers or a few sessions somewhere else before coming to us. This is what changes when you see us.
We look for the cause

At BP ChiroBefore any treatment we take your full history and do four checks: muscles and joints, nerves, spine and orthopedic tests.

At BP ChiroBased on what we find, we might use adjustment, Activator, dry needling, shockwave or spinal decompression.

Questions people often ask
Not sure about something? WhatsApp us and one of our practitioners will get back to you.
Book my first visitWill I need surgery?
Most sciatica settles with non-surgical care. If the assessment shows signs that need a specialist, we refer you.
What is flexion-distraction?
A gentle table technique that opens up the lower spine to take pressure off the disc and nerve.
Can I keep working?
Usually yes. We will show you how to sit, stand and move to reduce flare-ups.
How much is the first visit?
The 8-in-1 First Trial is RM279, 50% off a total value of RM560++. It includes the full assessment and your first treatment.
Who will I see?
A Doctor of Chiropractic, usually working together with a physiotherapist. Meet them on the Our Clinicians page.
Is an adjustment painful?
Adjustments are done by hand and are non-invasive. For children and seniors we use Activator therapy, a gentler instrument-assisted option.
When should I see a doctor first?
See a medical doctor or go to emergency first if you have loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness around the groin, weakness that is getting worse, pain after a fall or accident, fever or unexplained weight loss, or a sudden severe headache. If our assessment finds anything that needs medical tests, we refer you.
