What Causes Leg Pain?

Leg pain comes from the sciatic nerve. The roots of this nerve are found in the lower back part of your body. Some people who experience leg pain often complain of pain in the hip area, and pain that shoots down the back of the leg. The sciatic nerve emanates in the lower back and continues down the back of both legs.

Once the sciatic nerve roots get inflamed, it will cause you to feel discomfort along the path of the nerve. Sometimes, the roots of the nerve are being pinched by something in the body. It could be the muscles, discs, or bones, and it results in throbbing pain down the backside of the leg on the affected part.

How Does Therapy Work for Leg Pain?

Physical therapy for leg pain works to loosen the muscles around the sciatic nerve roots located in the lower back. If the muscles in your lower back tighten, they get to pinch the nerve roots. The more inflamed the nerve roots get, the more pain you can feel in your hips, buttocks, and legs.

The more relaxed you can feel by taking therapy for leg pain, the less pressure on your sciatic nerve roots. Taking regular therapy sessions can relieve the pressure on your sciatic nerve roots, thus managing the pain.

Another benefit of therapy for leg pain is that endorphins are released into your body when you take a massage. Endorphins can deal with pain signals in the body. They function by stimulating the opiate receptors in your brain. Once the receptors are stimulated, the pain signal passing between the nerve and the brain gets blocked, so you don’t feel the discomfort. Regular therapy sessions can help you relieve your leg pain with the release of endorphins.
