How Trigger point therapy  works?

Trigger point therapy involves targeting the source of pain with pressure and release touch. The therapist works to discover the exact location of pain and works to release this area to relieve pain and resolve the underlying musculoskeletal issue. This an effective technique as it targets the area with the pinched nerve in order to resolve the pressure and tension in the area.

Trigger point massage can cause discomfort due to very nature of a technique: working with points, locations in the muscle and apply temporary , short lived pressure.

What cause Sciatica pain?

Major causes of sciatica include:

  • herniated lumbar disk,
  • lumbar spinal stenosis,
  • sciatic nerve compression, and
  • muscle imbalances.

In general, trigger points occur in the back, thighs, and buttocks. Essentially, these trigger points in the sciatic nerve are responsible for causing pain and discomfort.

 However, if you are experiencing consistent sciatica pain, it is best to consult your doctor for diagnosis.

Usually, sciatica only affects one side of your body. During a sciatica flare-up, you may find some movements difficult, but it’s important to stay active.

Avoid high-impact sports, exercises, and movements that strain the sciatic region. Stay away from any activity, movement, or posture that causes pain
