Understanding sciatica

Sciatica often starts with muscle, not just disc problems

Your sciatic nerve gets irritated when tight muscles, imbalances, and myofascial trigger points compress or inflame it. That's why treating only the disc misses the real cause. Acumotion Sports Therapy LLC targets these soft-tissue issues directly with acupuncture and dry needling to reduce pressure and restore movement. In many cases, sciatica-like symptoms come from myofascial trigger points in the gluteal and hip muscles that refer pain down the leg in a pattern nearly identical to nerve-root compression. Learn more about how fascia and trigger points generate pain on our Myofascial Pain page.

Trigger point pain

Gluteal trigger points that mimic sciatica

Tight knots in the gluteal muscles can send pain down the leg just like a compressed nerve. Dry needling the gluteal trigger points relieves the referral pattern and eases the sciatica-like ache at the source.
