Sciatica Massage

Sciatica massage is a therapeutic technique focused on relieving pain caused by sciatica, a condition where the sciatic nerve—the longest nerve in the body—is irritated or compressed. This nerve runs from the lower back through the hips and buttocks and down each leg.

Purpose of Sciatica Massage

The main goal is to:

Reduce muscle tension that might be compressing the sciatic nerve (especially in the piriformis or lower back muscles.
Improve blood flow to the affected area
Relieve pain, numbness, or tingling sensations
Enhance mobility and flexibility

Important Notes

Sciatica massage is not a cure, but it can significantly reduce symptoms.
Not all sciatica is caused by muscle tightness; for example, a herniated disc might need other treatments.
Always consult a healthcare provider before starting massage therapy if you have underlying spinal issues.
