Can massage help my sciatica go away?

Yes and no. sciatica is caused by a disturbance of the sciatic nerve which begins in the low back and runs down the buttock and the back of the leg down to the heel of the foot. There are a few different causes for this. Massage can generally help on a temporary basis. If it is pseudo-sciatica (in which shooting pains do not run down past the back of the knee) massage can be very helpful at eliminating the tight muscles that cause this.
