Trigger Point Massage
Sciatica pain is often caused by muscle imbalances in the hips and pelvis. These imbalances can cause the muscles to tighten and pressure the sciatic nerve. Trigger point massage helps relieve this pain by releasing the tension in the muscles and restoring balance to the body.
Trigger point massage is a therapy that releases tension and breaks up muscle knots. The pressure from trigger point massage can help relieve the pain associated with sciatica by breaking up the muscle knots causing the pain. In addition, trigger point massage can also help improve flexibility and range of motion in the muscles and joints.
During a trigger point massage for sciatica treatment, the therapist will use their hands, elbows, or forearms to apply pressure to the muscle tissue around the sciatic nerve. Patients may feel discomfort during the massage as the therapist applies pressure to the knots in the muscles. However, this discomfort should quickly give way to relief as your muscles begin to relax. Most trigger point massages last anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour.
