Pain shooting down the back of your leg? ⚡
“Sciatica” that keeps coming back no matter how much you stretch?
The problem might not be your low back…
The sciatic nerve travels directly underneath (and sometimes through) the deep external rotator muscles of the hip — including the piriformis and surrounding rotators.
When adhesion or restriction forms in these muscles, it can irritate or compress the sciatic nerve, leading to:
🔥 Burning pain down the leg
🔥 Deep glute pain that won’t release
🔥 Tightness that stretching doesn’t fix
🔥 Tingling or numbness into the calf or foot
If you’ve tried adjustments, massage, injections, exercises, or foam rolling and nothing lasts… the missing piece may be nerve entrapment from adhesion.
At Peak Action Physical Therapy in Tucson, Arizona, we focus on identifying and manually addressing the root cause — not just chasing symptoms.
Pain lasting 6+ months?
