Sciatica May Be Helped By Rolfing

Sciatica describes pain that usually travels down the leg and sometimes into the calf and foot.

It is often caused by the sciatica nerve. Numbness and weakness of the lower leg muscles may occur. These symptoms may appear without any involvement of other parts of the body. Usually, there is also pain in the lower back.

Symptoms:

  • Pain in one hip or both

  • Pain radiating down the back of the leg

  • Pain in lower leg and ankle area but nothing is sore to the touch (pain radiates down from the hip but is only felt in the lower leg)

  • Usually a sharp, shooting pain

May begin abruptly or gradually and is characterized by a sharp shooting pain running down the back of the thigh.

Movement of the leg usually makes the pain worse. Pain may be uniformly distributed along the leg or there may be a few hot spots where it is more intense. Sometimes pain is only felt in the ankle or calf but is a result of the sciatic nerve being pinched in the area of the tailbone (sacrum).

Rolfing may help with this by stretching the fascia of the foot, ankle, leg, and pelvis and by helping to bring about better alignment and balance throughout the body. Surgical intervention may be necessary if due to a ruptured disc.
