2/3 in our Sciatica series - Can Sciatica be serious, and do I need a scan?

The good news is that most cases of sciatica are not serious and often improve with the right care, movement, and exercises. Imaging such as MRI scans is rarely required, as scan findings don’t always match symptoms and usually don’t change the treatment plan.

A thorough chiropractic assessment can accurately diagnose the cause of your symptoms using detailed orthopaedic and neurological testing.

However, urgent medical advice should be sought if you experience:
• Sudden weakness, pain or pins and needles in both legs
• Loss of bladder or bowel control
• Numbness around the saddle area
• Severe back pain with fever or unexplained weight loss
