Discover the real reason your nerve pain isn't improving.
If your sciatica keeps returning, the cause has never been properly identified. The KES Method at Plato Health Clinics uses a multi-discipline diagnostic process to map every contributor to your nerve irritation — and treats all of them together.
Sciatica describes pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness that travels along the sciatic nerve — from the lower back through the buttock and down the leg, sometimes reaching the foot.
"Sciatica" only tells you which nerve is affected. It says nothing about why the nerve is being irritated — and that is exactly the piece most treatments miss.
The nerve can be compressed at multiple points along its path. Each location requires a completely different treatment approach. Without knowing exactly where and why, any treatment is a guess.
Pain is treated where it is felt — not where the biomechanical problem originates. Without identifying the exact nerve source, every treatment is guesswork.
If you were told any of the following, you received a label — not a diagnosis:
A proper diagnosis identifies exactly where the nerve is compressed, what structure is responsible, and why it is not resolving — before any treatment begins. This is what the KES Method delivers at Plato Health Clinics.
Most practitioners treat sciatica with generic exercises, anti-inflammatories, or injections without first identifying the exact source. If the piriformis is the problem, spinal exercises make no difference. If it is a facet joint, disc-focused treatment fails entirely. Without precise diagnosis, every treatment is a lottery — and the KES Method at Plato Health Clinics exists specifically to end that cycle.
Most clinics treat the symptom. The KES Method — developed by Dr. Wim Kes over 30+ years of practice — is a multi-discipline diagnostic process that systematically identifies every biomechanical contributor to your nerve irritation. Only once the precise cause is known does treatment begin. This is why Plato Health Clinics resolves cases that others cannot.
We identify exactly where compression is occurring — disc, joint, muscle, or soft tissue — using clinical tests that go far beyond standard MRI interpretation.
We assess all six elements contributing to nerve irritation. In sciatica, multiple causes are almost always present simultaneously — and all must be addressed.
You receive a full explanation of the cause and what needs to be corrected — in plain language, before any treatment begins. No guesswork. No assumptions.
All contributing causes are corrected together — not one at a time. Progress is re-tested objectively at every session so you always know exactly where you stand.

Dr. Kes is one of the few clinicians worldwide formally trained across all key biomechanical disciplines — chiropractic, physiotherapy, physical education, soft tissue therapy, sports rehabilitation, postural re-education, functional movement and longevity coaching.
This cross-disciplinary background is what made the KES Method possible — and why Plato Health Clinics consistently resolves cases that other practitioners cannot.
A comprehensive multi-discipline assessment covering all six KES elements. We map every biomechanical contributor to your nerve irritation. Patients often say: "No one has ever examined me this thoroughly."
We tell you exactly what is causing your sciatica, which structures are involved, and what a realistic recovery looks like — before treatment starts. Plain language, not medical jargon.
We correct all contributing causes together — nerve decompression, joint corrections, muscle rebalancing, movement re-education. Progress is re-tested objectively at every visit.
We do not push treatment packages or unnecessary visits. Clear diagnosis, honest prognosis, treat the problem — nothing more.
'After years of low back pain the team at Plato solved it in just 3 sessions. They used a technique I have never experienced elsewhere. So happy that I am pain free after many years!'
'Two surgeons told me I needed back surgery. Dr. Wim discovered that my pain was coming from a joint in my lower back, not my disc. I'm now pain-free without surgery.'
'After years of physio and other doctors, my radiologist said everything was fine. They missed that my pain was coming from my pelvic joint. At Plato I finally got a proper assessment, and after just four treatments I was pain-free.'

Ongoing nerve compression can lead to permanent changes that are harder — or impossible — to fully reverse. Earlier diagnosis consistently means better outcomes.
Increasing leg weakness or foot drop signals ongoing nerve damage requiring urgent assessment.
Worsening or spreading numbness indicates progressing compression — time is a factor.
If previous physio, injections, or rest have not worked, the cause has likely not been correctly identified.
Symptoms lasting more than 6–8 weeks with no improvement need a full KES biomechanical assessment.
Renowned for thorough diagnosis, transparent explanations, and effective treatment.
A proven track record of real, measurable results.
Decades of hands-on expertise in diagnosing and treating complex spinal conditions.
