Sciatica, a sharp pain radiating from the lower back through the buttocks and down the leg, can be debilitating.

 While it often resolves on its own, many people seek relief through various treatments. Dry Needling Therapy Grande Prairie at G P Pain & Physiotherapy .   

Understanding Sciatica

Sciatica is typically caused by compression of the sciatic nerve, often due to a herniated disc, bone spurs, or muscle tightness. Symptoms can vary from mild discomfort to intense pain, numbness, or weakness.   

Dry Needling: A Modern Approach

Dry needling is a technique involving the insertion of thin needles into specific points in the body, known as trigger points. These points are areas of muscle tension or knots that contribute to pain. Unlike acupuncture, dry needling doesn't involve traditional Chinese medicine principles.   

How Dry Needling Helps Sciatica

Pain Reduction: By targeting trigger points in the muscles surrounding the sciatic nerve, dry needling can help reduce pain and inflammation.   

Muscle Relaxation: Dry needling can help release muscle tension, which can alleviate pressure on the sciatic nerve.   

Improved Mobility: Reducing pain and muscle tightness can improve your range of motion and flexibility.   

Accelerated Healing: Dry needling can stimulate the body's natural healing process, promoting tissue repair.   

The Dry Needling Experience

A dry needling session typically involves:

• 
  

  A thorough assessment to identify the source of your pain.

  
  


•
