Manassas Sciatica Pain Relief at Manassas Spinal Decompression

If you are suffering from Sciatica, then you generally will have pain in your leg or buttocks that will travel from your right low back around near the belt line, or it might start in your left or right buttocks down the back of your thigh and calf.

The pain from Sciatica can be caused by numerous ways, but usually by bulging, protruding or herniated disc/s that are smashing your spinal cord or nerves that run by the disc before it goes down your legs to your feet

Sciatica pain is not always caused by a disc. Sometimes it may be your piriformis muscle located in your buttocks. Your sciatic nerve passes in between or right under the piriformis muscle. In the event this muscle tightens up too much it causes pressure, pain, numbness, tingling or even a burning sensation down the back of your leg or calf.

If the piriformis muscle is responsible for pinching the sciatic nerve, generally a massage therapist should be able to relax the muscle and eliminate most of your sciatica pain within a few visits. However, you should always be checked to make sure there are no other problems or complications causing your pain.

When your sciatic pain is caused by a disc bulge, herniation or protrusion, generally your most effective treatment to fix the problem is either back surgery or non surgical spinal decompression.

Once you undergo treatment and are able to relieve the pressure from the disc, the pain generally improves quickly and even goes away completely in many instances.

However, this would not be sciatica, it would be another form of leg pain.
