Sciatica is reported to be one of the most common causes of nerve‑root pain seen in UK primary care, with the National Health Service (NHS) reporting that many patients are referred by their GP when symptoms persist beyond simple self‑care. At the same time, there is growing interest in root‑cause, non‑surgical approaches to long‑standing sciatica, reflecting the NHS‑guided emphasis on physiotherapy, targeted exercise, and pain management rehabilitation before considering surgery.
Northwood Chiropractic Oxford has extended its services to address this demand, providing Oxford residents with access to the Gonstead method's five-step diagnostic programme, a structured, clinician-led process that identifies the precise vertebral source of sciatic nerve pressure before any adjustment is made.
The five steps cover a thorough health history, full physical and structural examination, including nerve scans, full-spine X-rays where clinically indicated, a dedicated findings consultation, and a personalised first adjustment at the second visit.
For sciatica, the clinic identifies disc herniation and lumbar stenosis as the two primary root causes, each presenting differently by age, posture, and symptom pattern. According to a company representative, the Gonstead diagnostic process is designed to distinguish between these causes before treatment begins.
Nerve scanning is carried out using a Nervo-Scope instrument, which detects subtle temperature differentials along the spine caused by nerve pressure. X-rays, where indicated, provide further structural detail to guide the precision of each hand-delivered adjustment.
"Dr Hulme comes from a family in which chiropractic spans three generations, a heritage that informs both his commitment to the discipline and his choice to specialise in its most methodical form," adds the company spokesperson. "The Gonstead system, developed by Dr Clarence Gonstead, demands a depth of diagnostic rigour that sets it apart from general chiropractic practice, a standard Dr Hulme carries forward at the Oxford clinic."
