Understanding Sciatica Pain
Sciatica pain is caused by pressure or damage to the sciatic nerve located near the base of your spine. Sciatic nerves spread through your hips and down the legs, which is why sciatica pain mostly manifests as a tingling numbness and sharp shooting pain in the lower back and legs.
Sciatica pain happens when the sciatic nerve is compressed or pinched. It can be caused by a number of things, including soft tissue injury, poor posture, herniated discs, spinal stenosis, improper spinal alignment, and imbalanced muscle tone.
Sciatica pain ranges from mild to severe, and more severe cases can cause additional pain-related symptoms, such as weakness, numbness, weight loss, irritation, and loss of bladder control. Sciatica pain typically lasts for about four to six weeks but chronic pain can last for several months.
What Is Structural Integration for Sciatica Pain Relief?
Rolfing Structural Integration is a type of holistic sciatica pain treatment that involves lengthening and strengthening connective tissues in the spine, hips, and fascia. The goal of Rolfing Integration is to change your habits to promote long-term changes in posture, mobility, movement patterns, and daily functioning. Rolfing treatments can significantly reduce sciatica pain, letting you get your life back on track.
Rolfing is similar yet distinct from massage therapy. Whereas massage therapy focuses on activating deep muscle tissues to reduce tension, Rolfing and sciatica treatments explicitly target connective tissues and fascia to improve flexibility and overall movement. In that sense, Rolfing techniques are more active and involved than typical massage therapy. Patients are recommended to wear loose-fitting athletic clothes when they come to Rolfing appointments.
How Rolfing Provides Sciatica Pain Relief
Rolfing and sciatica pain treatment progresses similarly to massage therapy. The patient will lie on a table while the therapist applies pressure to specific points of the body. The therapist may also ask the patient to synchronize movements with the treatment to activate tense connective tissues. These movements activate sensory mechanoreceptors, causing myofascial release in the affected areas.
Benefits Over Conventional Treatments
Rolfing is 100% non-invasive, and a typical Rolfing session lasts about 60 to 90 minutes. You can go to your Rolfing treatment and continue with your day afterward with little to no interruption or difficulties. Rolfing also does not use any kind of drug treatment, so there is no risk of medication side effects or dependency issues.
