Medical Massage for Sciatica in Asheville, NC
Relieve Sciatic Nerve Pain Naturally with Targeted Therapeutic Massage
If you’re struggling with shooting pain down your leg, numbness, or tingling from your lower back to your feet, you may be dealing with sciatica. At Asheville Medical Massage, our specialized medical massage for sciatica targets the underlying muscular and fascial issues that compress the sciatic nerve—offering relief without drugs or invasive procedures.
WHAT IS SCIATICA MASSAGE THERAPY?
Focused, Clinical Care for Nerve Compression and Pain
Sciatica massage is a specialized therapeutic treatment aimed at relieving irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, the longest nerve in the body. This nerve runs from the lower spine, through the hips and glutes, and down each leg.
WHAT MAKES MEDICAL MASSAGE FOR SCIATICA DIFFERENT?
Massage therapy for sciatica is designed to:
-
Reduce inflammation around the sciatic nerve
-
Release deep-seated tension in the piriformis, glutes, and lumbar spine
-
Address fascial restrictions and muscular imbalances
-
Restore mobility and reduce pressure on the nerve pathway
Our therapists use an integrative approach that may include myofascial release, trigger point therapy, neuromuscular therapy, and deep tissue massage—all tailored to the root cause of your pain.
BENEFITS OF MEDICAL MASSAGE FOR SCIATICA
Reduce Pain. Improve Mobility. Restore Function.
Sciatica can be caused by a variety of issues—herniated discs, muscle tension, spinal misalignment, or postural strain. Medical massage helps by:
DECREASING COMPRESSION OF THE SCIATICA NERVE
RELIEVING TIGHTNESS IN THE PIRIFORMIS & SURROUNDING MUSCLES
IMPROVING CIRCULATION TO AFFECTED TISSUES
ENHANCING RANGE OF MOTION & POSTURE
REDUCING INFLAMMATION & MUSCLE SPASMS
SUPPORTING YOUR RECOVERY FROM INJURIES, SURGERIES OR CHRONIC STRESS
Medical Massage not only relieves acute pain but also promotes long-term healing by correcting imbalances that contribute to nerve impingement.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR SESSION
Safe, Personalized Care Backed by Science
At Asheville Medical Massage, we start with a detailed intake to assess your symptoms, pain patterns, and contributing factors. We then customize your session to focus on the areas most involved in your sciatica—often including the lower back, glutes, hips, hamstrings, and calves.
Depending on the cause of your nerve irritation, your therapist may use:
-
Neuromuscular therapy to release hyperactive trigger points
-
Myofascial release to reduce fascial tension along the nerve pathway
-
Deep tissue techniques for chronic tension
-
Stretching and positional release to increase mobility and reduce compression
Each session is designed to bring relief while respecting your current level of discomfort or mobility limitations.
