Sciatic nerve pain can indicate an underlying issue: Certain structures within its path in the lumbosacral, pelvic, and gluteal regions may compress or irritate the nerve.
Ongoing research suggests the sciatic nerve's healthy functioning depends on its fascial connections.
No matter how smart we think we are, our trusty brains occasionally allow us to do really stupid things. In my case, it was during a six-week period awhile back that I systematically demolished the posterior cruciate ligaments and menisci in both my knees.
I once made a sciatica sufferer’s pain worse. Over the next decade, I talked to massage therapists, physical therapists, and chiropractors and tested out ways to keep acute sciatic pain from becoming worse during treatment.
