Written by the company

Get pain relief for sciatica and back pain with Sciaticalm. Simple, painless and easy to use. Sciatica affects around 3% of women and over 5% of men in the UK. Caused by a compression of the sciatic nerve where it exits the spine the condition causes severe burning pain in the lower back, radiating down the leg and often into the foot. Developed by orthopaedic surgeons in the UK, Sciaticalm applies a precise frequency of signal to the sciatic nerve helping you to manage your pain. The Sciaticalm device generates high-frequency vibration to pass pulses through the skin to the sciatic nerve. Pain is transmitted as impulses in the large sensory fibres of the body and by applying a certain frequency to the area of pain, it interacts with the pain impulse transmissions, causing disruption. The pulses are effectively ‘scrambling’ the sensory impulses to the extent that they cannot be interpreted as pain signals by the brain. This helps to alleviate the pain from the condition. This is a treatment modality approved by NICE, the National Institute for Health & Care Excellence.

I recently bought a Sciaticalm machine due to a bad bout of sciatica that lasted 10 months despite input from Physiotherapists. I’ve been pleasantly surprised at how effective it is at promoting pain relief. I would highly recommend Sciaticalm to other sufferers.

Ciaticalm my new Golf assistant

Found it very helpful when walking as that is when I get most pain. I am a keen golfer so use the unit when in pain or loss of use of calf muscle as the muscle drops out.
My walking seems to be a lot better
Thought if the unit had a rechargeable battery for use with additional battery and charger. Or can the unit be charged from power source such as phone charger unit. Thanks

Really helped my sciatica more than diazepam did. Couldn't get higher than Level 1, but 4 weeks of using it, really helped cope with the pain. It's amazing. Just 10mins 3x a day is all you need. I will definitely be recommending it.

BRILLIANT!!

I have been suffering with Sciatica which flares up on and off for several years. Recently the pain was excruciating and unbearable, it affected every movement. I was prescribed strong pain killers which hardly touched the surface of the pain. Paying for treatment with a Chiropractor helped somewhat. However since purchasing the Sciaticalm device, it has really helped manage and alleviate the pain in my leg and lower back. I use it every day, even when I'm at work. It is so good I purchased a second one. It doesn't get rid of Sciatica but it does allow me to get on with life. I would really struggle without it!

Swift and long lasting relief!

This small device provided relief for my husband on the first day! After a month of struggling to move, walk or sit down he’s mobile again which is a massive relief. Thanks so much sciaticalm!

Using for cancer tumor pressing on…

Using for cancer tumor pressing on nerve and causing pain on left side (like sciatica), using the product and seems to be making some change. Early days yet, it should be given its time (case by case) but certainly worth trying as complimentary support. Good customer service, reliable and clear information. If the pain improves (at what ever percent, ie 20% worth buying) further down the line, would give 5 stars for any improvement whatsoever.

Sciatica calm

I am not using it personally but I bought it for my husband it seems to be helping as he is not bent over when walking around now after three weeks and doesn’t complain as much now when moving around.

Worked for me :-)

I ordered the device in the hope it would ease my back/ sciatica pain. With the money back guarantee it was worth the risk. It has done the job. It does ease the pain and with regular use solved my issue. However I will say this, where this device worked for me and I will happily recommend it, I suspect it's effectiveness depends on what the problem is with your back. But with the Money back guarantee, there is no harm in trying.

Broken Again - Helps when working.

Yes it helps releave some of the pain cause by my spinal injury. However the Sciaticalm model 0088 has broken AGAIN !!
It seemed expensive before, yet has gone up again in price... It should last longer.
So be prepared to buy more than one,,,, This will be my THIRD.

Sciaticalm device - highly recommended

I was in dreadful pain with sciatica and googled sciatica relief. A link to Sciaticalm came up so I followed it and read the details about this handy little device. The reviews were positive but I wasn’t sure whether it would really help.

I hadn’t been sleeping properly, due to a sciatica flare up. Pain relief pills, ice packs etc., didn’t work so I ordered the sciaticalm device in desperation, not really thinking it would work.

After using it for less than a week I was able to sleep properly at night without waking up in pain. After 2 weeks using it every day all the pain I felt disappeared. Now if I get the occasional twinge I use the device for a few minutes and it feels better.

It Works!

Initially, somewhat of a sceptic, i ordered Sciaticalm with the knowledge I could return it within 2 weeks if it didn't help. I have been using it daily as recommended for 3 weeks and I no longer have a numbness in my toes of my right leg. The daily treatment is unobtrusive and to date I'm delighted with the results. I'm now able to walk for short distances without dreadful sciatic pain. Easy and speedy recharge without fiddly (expensive) batteries. The velcro bands need redesigning as other reviews have noted. In summary, I'm absolutely delighted that Sciaticalm has given me pain relief. 😊👍
