What does Sciatica Pain Feel Like?

Pain in the lower back with pain shooting down the legs. This shooting pain is referred to as Sciatica pain.

Myofascial Release for Sciatica Pain

Myofascial Release is a whole-body treatment in which the tight fascia that causes lower back pain and the shooting pain down the leg is treated, rather than the symptom, which is the pain.

Lower back pain and pain that shoots down the leg are directly related to tight fascia in the following areas of the body:

  • the three gluteal muscles

  • the IT band

  • the lower and mid back

The tight fascia in the thigh area is known to activate trigger points that cause pain in the back and down the leg. This fascia anteriorly rotates the pelvis causing an apparent leg length discrepancy on that side of the body. This postural misalignment is the main cause of the fascia tightening in all of the areas stated above.

Once the fascia is treated in all the areas above, I treat the trigger points that were inflamed by the tight fascia. These trigger points are the source of the pain in the lower back and the shooting pain down the leg.

I was referred to Mark by a friend who had received great results from his treatment. I have had chronic hip pain for most of my life and my shoulder has had limited range of motion for about 4 years. After my first visit, the range of motion in my shoulder was 95% better. I now am pain free in both my hip and shoulder after only 6-7 visits. Mark is amazing and truly loves what he does. Thank you!

For the past few months I have experienced debilitating pain in my left knee which greatly reduced my quality of life.  I was unable to do morning walks, hikes, bike rides, etc.  Fortunately a friend recommended Mark Smith as a massage therapist.  Mark is the first therapist I have gone to that specializes in myofascial release therapy.  I was pleasantly surprised that after my initial visit my knee was 75% better and after my second visit my knee was 95% better.  I highly recommend Mark Smith.

I have been suffering from a frozen shoulder since rotator cuff surgery 6 months ago. I had trigger points in my shoulder , upper and lower back that just were not getting any better with physical therapy, NSAIDS, and home exercises. I knew I needed something more, so I decided to try myofascial release. Mark Smith agreed to treat me because I was in excruciating pain. After a few sessions my pain
