Sciatica, Back Pain, and Disc Bulges: A Dual-Method Approach at INPEAK

At INPEAK, we specialise in resolving complex back pain and sciatica with a comprehensive, body-wide approach that combines Spiral Stabilization and Fascial Manipulation.

Many people experience sciatic symptoms—pain radiating from the lower back down through the leg—without fully understanding the root cause. That’s where our expertise comes in.

Sciatica: One Symptom, Multiple Causes

Sciatic pain can be triggered by two main factors:

1. Structural compression — e.g., a disc bulge or herniation pressing on a nerve root (discopathy)

2. Fascial and muscular compression — tight tissues restricting the sciatic nerve along its path

3. 
   

Both can cause burning, tingling, numbness, or shooting pain. But because the causes are different, the treatments must also be different. That’s why we always begin with a comprehensive biomechanical and fascial assessment to pinpoint the true driver of your pain.

Method 1: Spiral Stabilization for Disc-Related Back Issues

When a disc problem is involved, Spiral Stabilization provides a proven, effective solution. This method:

• Activates spiral muscle chains to reduce spinal pressure

• Encourages natural spinal elongation and decompression

• Supports reabsorption of disc bulges by relieving pressure on disc spaces

By creating traction through precise muscle activation, Spiral Stabilization reduces nerve root irritation, improves posture, and is highly effective for disc herniations and degenerative disc issues.

Method 2: Fascial Manipulation for Nerve Compression From Tight Tissue

Sometimes scans show no disc problem, yet sciatic pain persists. In these cases, the issue often lies in the fascia—the connective tissue that runs throughout the body.

When fascia becomes tight or stiff from injury, inflammation, or poor biomechanics, it can compress or irritate nerves, leading to:

• Muscle spasms

• Radiating pain

• Reduced mobility

Through Fascial Manipulation, we assess which fascial lines are restricting nerve flow and use precise hands-on techniques to restore tissue glide. This relieves nerve compression, restores movement, and reduces pain.

Why We Often Use Both

Many patients experience a mix of both structural and soft tissue issues. That’s why we frequently integrate both methods:

• Spiral Stabilization to decompress the spine and reduce disc pressure

• Fascial Manipulation to release tight tissues that may be compressing nerves elsewhere

This hybrid approach allows us to address multiple causes of back pain and sciatica—often delivering noticeable improvements immediately through movement testing.

What Makes INPEAK Different

• We treat the root cause, not just the symptoms

• We assess fascia, posture, and biomechanics together

• We combine two advanced, science-backed methods

• We tailor each treatment plan to your body—not guesswork
