What are the Symptoms of Sciatica?When it comes to sciatica, the sciatic nerve is a large nerve that runs down the back of each leg, sciatica nerve pain is leg pain that is from a medical condition and is usually in the back. They cause pain, weakness or tingling, which can travel through the sciatic nerve and down from the lower back through the legs. The pain down the leg can cause the burning or sharp pain that will affect standing or walking, as well as pain when sitting. Sciatica pain is usually caused by the sciatic nerve being pinched or irritated at its source. Reasons for this cover disc herniation in the lumbar spine, disc degeneration or narrowing of the spinal cord, also known as spinal stenosis. For more information on our sciatica treatment in North London, call Ergotec today.
Most people who suffer from Sciatica get it between 30 and 50 years of age. Pregnant women are far more likely to develop Sciatica whilst pregnant due to the pressure on the Sciatic nerve. If you are a sufferer of Sciatica in North London, having effective treatment will help with reducing pains and staying in control. There are many symptoms of Sciatica, some of the most common include:
More often than not Sciatica is caused by a herniated (‘slipped’ disc), where one of the discs that sit between the bones of your spine are damaged and press on the nerves. Other less common causes can include: Spinal Stenosis, a spinal injury or infection or a growth in the spine such as a tumour. In order to minimise your risk of developing any possible causes of Sciatica, you can adapt to improving your posture, lifting techniques and exercises. All of which will better your posture, balance and any pains, putting you at a far less risk of developing Sciatica. Things like sitting, driving, standing and sleeping straight will ensure your back is fully supported and you maintain a good posture. Stretching and warming up before and after exercising as well as regular exercise will also help with your posture and preventing pain and any Sciatica problems too.
The majority of people who are suffering from Sciatica tend to get it between 30 and 50 years of age. Pregnant women are also more likely to develop Sciatica while they are pregnant, this is due to the pressure on the Sciatic nerve. Should you be a sufferer of Sciatica in North London, we offer a range of effective treatments that will help to reduce pains. Sciatica can last anywhere from days to weeks to months, back sprain, shingles, a herniated disc and degenerative lumbar spine can all cause forms of sciatica, that can last from days to weeks. Each of these causes include chronic sciatica.
Sciatic exercises usually focus on three key areas: strengthening, stretching and aerobic conditioning
Many exercises can help strengthen the spinal column and the supporting muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Most of these back exercises focus not only on the lower back, but also the abdominal (stomach) muscles and gluteus (buttock) and hip muscles.
Strong core muscles can provide pain relief because they support the spine, keeping it in alignment and facilitating movements that extend or twist the spine with less chance of injury or damage.
Stretching is usually recommended to alleviate sciatic pain. Stretches for sciatica are designed to target muscles that cause pain when they are tight and inflexible. Hamstring stretching is almost always an important part of a sciatica exercise program. Most people do not stretch these muscles, which extend from the pelvis to the knee in the back of the thigh, in their daily activities.
Another stretch that is often helpful in easing sciatica is the Bird Dog move: After getting on their hands and knees, individuals extend one arm and the opposite leg. The arm and leg extensions are then alternated. A more advanced version of this exercise is the Plank Bird Dog move, in which the extensions are done once the person is in the plank position on their hands and toes.
Some form of low-impact cardiovascular exercise, such as walking, swimming, or pool therapy is usually a component of recovery, as aerobic activity encourages the exchange of fluids and nutrients to help create a better healing environment.
Aerobic conditioning also has the unique benefit of releasing endorphins, the body’s natural pain killers, which helps reduce sciatic pain.
Sciatica is commonly caused by some type of compression of a spinal nerve in the lower back. The medical term for sciatica is lumbar radiculopathy, or radicular pain, indicating that the symptoms originate with a radicular nerve in the spine. The specific symptoms will be different depending on which spinal nerve is affected and how much it is compressed.
A variety of lower back problems can lead to pain that radiates along the sciatic nerve. Most often, sciatica pain is caused when the L5 or S1 nerve root in the lower spine is irritated by a herniated disc. The nerve roots that exit the spine to form the sciatic nerve are extremely sensitive, and the inner portion of the disc that may herniate or extrude contains proteins that are inflammatory and easily irritate the nerve.
When this happens, pain radiates into the rear and back of the thigh and calf, and occasionally may extend down to the foot.
