If you experience lower back pain, you’re not alone between 60-70% of all people will experience some form of lower back pain in their lives. If your pain radiates from the lower back down along one leg and also causes numbness, tingling or weakness then you might be one of the 40% of people worldwide suffering from sciatica.

Fortunately, there are effective treatments to help alleviate the pain and discomfort caused by sciatica, one of which is massage. Massage has been shown to provide many benefits for general health, and several of those benefits can help treat sciatica.

Massage therapy has been shown to be an effective way to relieve pain, and can specifically help to alleviate lower back pain.

When your core and lower back muscles are tight, they can apply pressure to the sciatic nerve or can trigger points around the nerve. Massage helps to soothe tense muscles and loosen knots, which relieves pressure on the nerve. Massage also stimulates the release of endorphins and can reduce the level of the stress hormone cortisol.

So many times in a new year, many focus on specific resolutions that the mass suggests. While that is all good, from a naturalist/herbalist point of view, I would encourage all to focus on listening to your body’s vital force or intelligence to tell u what it needs. I say this because with everyone being their own unique and individual self, what works amazingly well for one, doesn’t necessarily work for another. The latest pill, plan or exercise gadget could leave u stressed and discouraged if not vetted from an individual standpoint.

Are u a go-go-go kind of person or are u pretty laid back? What kind of job do u have? Do u have a good community that supports u? What is your diet like? Focus on movement, rest and nourishment - a balanced picture.

If taken into consideration when u are looking to make a change in 2023, you will no doubt meet with success!
