Sciatica: What is it?
In today’s video, I will be reviewing Sciatica.
First – what is the sciatic nerve?
Interesting fact – it’s the largest nerve in the human body.
It starts at the lower spine ( from L4 to S3) and runs through the sacrum and iliac joints.
This powerful nerve has 2 major functions:
a) It provides mobility to the leg – helping you walk, run, and move.
b) It provides sensation in the leg, especially in the lower calf area.
What is Sciatica?
When pressure develops on the sciatic nerve – it’s called sciatica.
The pain can be horrible and feel like a shooting sensation, numbness, or even burning down the leg.
The pain can start at the base of the spine – and can go all the way down the leg and even into the feet and toes.
How does this happen?
Degeneration of one or more discs, disc herniation, lumbar stenosis, or even general pressure on the lower spine can lead to sciatica.
What can cause a breakdown in the spine?
Using a computer and sitting all day – can definitely put you at risk for developing sciatica. This goes for taxi or truck drivers as well. Heavy lifting may also be a trigger.
Options for Care:
Medically, the options are usually medication, injection, and surgery. While I understand this may be necessary for emergency cases, I feel gentle and natural options should be the first choice.
Maybe you’ve tried stretching, ice packs, heat packs and even changing your diet. But nothing helps.
Next step?
I would encourage you to book a 7-point spinal check-up to see if gentle, specific Chiropractic care can help.
I’ve been helping many people beat sciatica for many years, and I would love to see if I can help you, too.
You deserve better.
