Sciatica, Nerve Pain & Muscle Tension—What’s the Difference?

Have you ever felt a sharp, radiating pain from your lower back down your leg? That’s not just muscle tightness—it could be sciatic nerve pain.

Here’s how it’s different:

• Sciatica & Nerve Pain: Usually sharp, burning, or tingling. It follows a nerve path and may be triggered by a herniated disc, inflammation, or tight piriformis muscles.

• Muscle Pain: Feels more like soreness, stiffness, or dull aches from overuse or injury.

💡 Nerve pain requires more than just massage—it may call for stretching, nerve flossing, hydration, anti-inflammatory foods, and specialized pressure point therapy.

At Relax Now, we assess your needs first, then tailor the right treatment—not just for relief, but for recovery.
