Sciatica in the Summer: A Whole-Body Approach
Why Sciatica Flares Up in Summer
With more outdoor activities—hiking, sports, yard work—sciatica pain tends to increase during the summer months in Greenville.
That sharp, shooting pain down the leg is often blamed on a pinched nerve. But that’s only part of the picture.
Understanding Sciatica Holistically
Sciatica involves:
- The nervous system (Zone 3)
- The muscular system (Zone 5)
When these systems are out of balance, the body can’t properly regulate nerve function or muscle support.
Why Traditional Treatments Fall Short
Common approaches include:
- Pain medication
- Rest
- Physical therapy
While helpful, they may not address the root imbalance causing nerve irritation.
