Most of the time Sciatica is caused by the nerve being pinched in the back like you stated but not 100% of the time. After looking at MRI my pain doctor that did my nerve burn also thought that my Sciatica is being caused by my glutes. My muscles are always in a knot. Have a friend that did deep tissue massage on me and my Sciatica hardly ever gave me any problems. She was amazing. She retired a few years ago and the Sciatica got progressively worse. My nephew is a deep tissue therapist and is going to be coming to town every other weekend and he is bringing his table so can't wait for that to happen. I've also tried Rolfing but that was years ago. I know a really good acupuncturist so I'm up for trying that too. I'm up for anything that doesn't involve drugs.
