Sciatic pain can feel persistent, frustrating, and disruptive to daily life. While physical factors play a role, stress, muscle guarding, and nervous system dysregulation often contribute to ongoing discomfort.
At Deep Relief, we approach sciatica through somatic therapy and trauma-informed nervous system support, helping reduce pain patterns held in the body.
What Is Sciatica?
Sciatica refers to pain that travels along the sciatic nerve, often affecting the lower back, hips, and legs. Symptoms may fluctuate depending on stress levels, posture, and emotional state.

The Mind-Body Connection in Sciatica
Chronic stress can increase muscle tension and nerve sensitivity. Over time, the nervous system may reinforce pain as a protective response.
Therapy helps interrupt this cycle.

Therapy can help by:
- Reducing stress-related muscle tension
- Improving body awareness

- Addressing emotional contributors to pain

Trauma-Informed & Somatic Therapy
We focus on:
