Targeted conservative care for lower back pain, office neck strain, sciatica, and cervical or lumbar radiculopathy just 4 km from Morningside, Windermere, and the Durban CBD at Spark Medical Centre in Overport.
Hours spent seated at office desks in the Durban CBD or Morningside, combined with traffic commutes, place sustained compressive load on the lower lumbar intervertebral discs and cervical spine. When a lumbar disc or piriformis muscle irritates the sciatic nerve, or a cervical segment irritates a nerve root into the shoulder and arm, simple painkillers rarely resolve the underlying mechanical compression.

Patients often ask
How quickly can I get an appointment from Morningside for an acute back spasm or sciatica?
Contact our reception via WhatsApp or telephone on 063 265 1223. We consult Monday to Saturday in Overport and prioritise accommodating acute back and neck pain patients as promptly as possible.
Will you use gentle techniques if my sciatica or disc pain is very acute?
Yes. For acute nerve root or disc irritation, we avoid forceful twisting and use gentle mobilisation, low-force Activator impulses, TENS electrotherapy, and soft tissue release.
