Sciatica that just won’t go away? 👀⚠️ A lot of people are told it’s a herniated disc, piriformis syndrome, or just tight muscles… so they stretch, strengthen, and keep chasing temporary relief 😵‍💫 But what if the real issue is a restricted sciatic nerve at the external rotators of the hip? The sciatic nerve travels beneath and between the deep external rotator muscles of the hip before running down the back of the leg. When it becomes restricted by surrounding adhesion, it can contribute to: 🔥 pain shooting down the back of the leg 🔥 burning or tingling into the calf or foot 🔥 buttock pain when sitting 🔥 tightness that never seems to improve 🔥 symptoms that keep coming back no matter what you do So even if you keep stretching the piriformis or only treating your low back… the problem doesn’t always go away ❌ Because the nerve may not be moving the way it’s supposed to. By identifying and removing adhesion around the sciatic nerve at the external rotators, we help restore normal nerve movement, helping patients move better and get back to doing the things they love ✅💥 📍Derry Village Physiotherapy & Chiropractic — Mississauga, Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦 Comment PAIN if you’re tired of suffering ⬇️🔥 #sciatica - @drjamiedevassy
