The Health Benefits of Sciatica Massage Therapy

Sciatica is a type of lower back pain that often includes radiating pain down the back of the leg. This radiating pain can reach as far down as the calf and usually only affects one side of the body. It worsens when sitting down and when making sudden movements. Sometimes there may also be numbness or tingling in the leg.

If you've ever experienced any degree of sciatic pain, you know how inconvenient it can be. Chronic sciatica can be extremely painful and even debilitating. It can make it very difficult to enjoy your day-to-day life and causes everything to be painful. Even mild sciatica from a minor injury can be quite a hassle.

Sciatica is a very common type of back pain that anyone can experience at any age. It can vary from being extremely mild to being very severe.
The Health Benefits of Sciatica Massage Therapy
Sometimes the pain will last only a few days, while other times it may be a problem for years. It can have many different causes, but it is most often the result of an injury that leads to the compression of the sciatic nerve.

This nerve is one of the major nerves in the back and it runs down the backs of the legs. Slipped discs, herniated discs and strained back muscles result in this compression.
Car accidents, sports injuries and improperly lifting heavy objects can all result in sciatica. Mild sciatic injuries and pain usually clear up on their own. Other cases of sciatica are much more severe, sometimes even chronic. If you want to avoid potentially risky back surgeries and need an alternative form of pain relief to relying on medications, then you should consider sciatic massage therapy. Message therapy works for both acute and chronic pain.

Pregnancy sciatica is also very common. An expectant mother's body goes through a lot of changes. The weight gain can lead to the sciatic nerve becoming compressed, and this type of sciatica usually clears up after the baby's birth. Prenatal massage is not only good for stress relief, but can also help relieve sciatic pain. Visiting a sciatic massage therapist is a great way to help expectant mothers relax and be pain-free.

How Can Massage Therapy Help?

The treatment for most sciatic nerve injuries is rest. Other times physical therapy is needed to help the body to recover. The pain can make resting as well as physical therapy difficult. It makes it hard to find a comfortable resting position and also limits your mobility. Pain during physical therapy discourages patients from completing their physical therapy. Rather than working to make the body recover, many sciatica sufferers choose to just treat and live with their pain. Most turn to the use of pain relief medications, especially those with severe and regularly occurring pain.

Medication can have negative side-effects and you may also be putting yourself at risk for dependency. Medicines may provide short-term relief and they may not even completely relieve the pain if the sciatica is particularly severe. If you're looking for an effective alternative to medication or medication is not conducive to your particular type of sciatica, such as if you have pregnancy sciatica, then massage therapy is going to be one of your best options. Massage for sciatica by a licensed massage therapist is both risk-free and non-invasive. It provides effective relief and promotes recovery while being one of the safest of all types of pain relief.

Many different types of massage are effective for sciatica. A sciatic massage therapist will often stretch the muscles that trap the sciatic nerve and then relax those muscles so the nerve can glide along its path. Trigger points may develop and trigger point massage may be used. People with moderate to severe sciatica that received massage therapy along with their other treatments showed faster recovery times than those that did not incorporate massage. Those that received massages also saw significantly more improvement than people relying on pain medications alone to treat their condition.

What Is Deep Tissue Massage?

Sciatic massage therapy utilizing deep tissue massage work can help with both spine issues and with the muscles in your lower back. It is a very old form of massage delving deep into the muscle tissue. Sufferers experience relief from their pain after their very first session. Chronic sciatica sufferers make massage therapy a normal part of their routine in order to keep the pain at bay.

Deep tissue massage differs from other types of massage because it uses more pressure and the pressure is applied much slower. In addition to working the muscles, it can also be used to work connective tissue, including the tissue surrounding the spine and sciatic nerve. Deep tissue massage is similar to Swedish massage, which is also a viable type of massage for sciatica. Swedish massage is more suitable for mild sciatica.
