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.

Yes, it does work!

I bought the Sciaticalm on the recommendation of my sister; I had never heard of it before. Thankfully, delivery was swift! It won't cure sciatica in one go, but I found that starting from my left hip area and working downwards to beneath my knee it was very effective in pain relief. The various straps supplied can hold it in most positions fairly securely.

As promised I have updated this review

As promised I have updated this review
I am stilll wary of this company
A company that doesn’t reply to emails can’t be trusted
It arrived today (22/06/2023)
I did send of replies to everyone that emailed me from Sciaticalm, I never got ANY replies from any of them
The device does come with instructions, which are as clear as mud
Their return policy is complicated and expensive
The telephone number is still a premium number, I have checked with OFCOM and O2
My star review hasnt changed, just one star
I cant see this device actually being any good for my wife, it just vibrates, a bit like a TENS machine

Hi Derrick, no surprises there as you left the first review before even receiving the product. Both I and customer services replied to you within 5 minutes of you emailing us. There has been some confusion with the email addresses though so we have looked into streamlining those. We now operate just two, rather than three. Just to clear up your other point, we use a standard landline for all customer service now, not the old 0845 number. The return policy is easy, just call us and we will refund or replace. You can then send the device back at your leisure. I don't know how we could make it any easier. I hope your wife has found some relief with the product.

Would try anything to relive the pain- this helped.

After months of pain I purchased sciaticalm machine. Best thing I could have done. Instant relief after using sciaticalm. I also used it with analgesia and reflexology and the combination resulted in my sciatica being cured. I would definitely recommend this product.

Fantastic product

Found it so good bought one for my mother in law and sister in law. Recommended to 3 friends who also bought one. Highly recommended. I was on 16 painkillers a day for sciatica and had problems sleeping. Now no painkillers and sleeping

The product itself has been amazing at reducing my sciatica pain to a manageable level. My only criticism is it only holds 30 minutes charge per day which is adequate to use 3 x10 mins per day. However it means it needs to be charged after my last session which is usually when I lie down for the night

Recently my Partner had a severe attack of Sciatica

Recently my Partner had a severe attack of sciatica which despite all sorts of pain killers could not get any great degree of relief from them and was also concerned about the potential of becoming overly dependent on them. Having recently seen an advert on Facebook regarding the Sciatcalm device and her being desperately in need of relief from it, I thought that even if it failed to achieve anything I would give it a tryout. Well, I was staggered that after only a couple of sessions with it, she began to experience relief from the pain to the extent that it now accompanies her everywhere she goes as a just in case remedy for her. I would recommend it to anyone suffering from deep seated pain.

Zero Stars! Don't waste your money!

This device is a total waste of money! It did absolutely nothing to alleviate my pain! I had intended to return it, as advertised within the first 14 days, but I was unfortunately taken to the hospital, and by the time I was discharged, the 14-day window had passed. I was so disappointed. I used it absolutely exactly as instructed, and as a nurse myself, I knew exactly what I was doing, so I know there was no error on my part. Funnily enough, the company contacted me to ask me to review the device, and I gave them an honest opinion of what a waste of money it was. Yet they did not even get back to me, nor did they include my review on their own website.

Hi, very sorry to hear the device didn't work for you. We would have happily refunded your purchase price plus delivery cost if you'd let us know, especially if you were in hospital at the time and couldn't use the device.

Really good product

Really good product, I must admit I was sceptical at first but had suffered from sciatica for several months and wasn't sleeping at all well, so thought it was worth a try.
Within 1.5 weeks the sciatica is cleared up. I still have some tight muscles which I'm working on but sciatica is gone which is great. Definitely worth a try if you have issues with sciatica.

Don't hesitate. It works.

I am your No 1 Fan! I got home from Australia in late January and I truly felt sick when I saw my husband. He could barely walk and in 3 weeks he had literally crumpled. He had aged 10years. It was very destressing to see him in such pain. Next day another trip to GP (with me). He was seen by 2 x 2nd year students then a GP (another who hadn't heard his story!) He offered him a 2nd Opiate and 'we' refused. Instead increased dose of Gabipentin (together with maximum Codeine +ibuprofen) That night I started researching TENS machine as he had some relief from a hand vibrating massager. I found Sciaticalm + took a chance based on the reviews plus no messy wires and pass. In short. Day 1 hubby over used it but by bedtime he felt 25% better. He slept well, no crying out and groaning. Day 2 he used it 4x ten mins. By bedtime he felt 50% better and slept heavily. Day 3 he used it 4x and by bedtime he was almost pain free and halved the pain relief. By Day 5 he was using 3x and stopped all pain relief (but kept using anti inflammatory). Day 8 his whole demeanor was human again. He was out walking with me, exercising, no pain relief for 3 days. Day 11 he returned to work 3 days only wearing the Sciaticalm on the 1st day. Hes had the Sciaticalm for 4 weeks and it is like a miracle. After not using it for 4 days and no meds he is beginning to get sore again but 2 uses and pain free again. Thank you so much for your gadget. Sorry for the long story but I really wanted to share a true case history. Do not hesitate. Buy the Sciaticalm. It works, really works!

Great supplementary pain relief

I having been suffering with sciatica caused by L4/L5 disc herniation on and off for over ten years. I hate having to fill myself full of painkillers to cope with the pain of a flare up and find myself click watching waiting to be able to take the next dose! I’ve found sciaticalm has been great for helping me bridge that gap, and has helped to relax muscle spasms that do often accompany a flare up. I love that it’s rechargeable and easy to use and wear. Highly recommend as a complementary therapy for managing pain
