Brentwood Sciatica Pain Relief at Brentwood Spinal Decompression

Sciatica is a fancy medical term for leg or buttocks pain that travels from your low back right about the belt line or starting in your right or left butt cheek down the back of your thigh and calf.

Not all sciatica pain is caused by a disc though. Sometime it is as simple as a muscle in you buttocks named the "piriformis muscle" and your sciatic nerve passes in between this muscle or right under this muscle.

If the muscle tightens up too much, it can cause pressure and pain, tingling, numbness or burning down the back of the leg or calf.

If the muscle is pinching the nerve, a good massage therapist should be able to relax the muscle and eliminate the sciatica pain within a few treatments.
