The sciatic nerve is the longest nerve in the human body, running from the back of the pelvis, through the buttocks, down both legs and finally ending at the feet. Pain caused by an irritation, or compression of the sciatic nerve is referred to as SCIATICA.
Sciatic pain can range from mild to very painful.
The 2 Types Of Sciatica
Acute – lasting up to 6 weeks
This form of sciatica can often be managed by non-prescription painkillers and simple exercises to relieve the symptoms of sciatic pain.
Chronic – lasting over 6 weeks
You could require a dedicated, professional treatment program to eliminate the cause of the sciatic pain. In extreme, albeit rare, circumstances surgery may be required.
What Are The Symptoms Of Sciatica?
Leg pain and possibly tingling, numbness or weakness that travels from the lower back through the buttock and down the large sciatic nerve in the back of the leg.
Sciatica occurs most frequently in people between 30 and 50 years of age.
What Causes Sciatica?
Compression or irritation to the sciatic nerve can cause pain that originates in the lower back and travels down the leg towards the feet.
Often a particular event or injury does not cause sciatica, but rather it tends to develop as a result of general wear and tear on the structures of the lower spine.
One of the known causes of sciatica and sciatic pain is a herniated disc (slipped disc). Occurring when one of the discs supporting the spine gets temporarily dislocated out of position and presses on the sciatic nerve. This can be caused by an accident or by a muscle imbalance.
Until recently, it was thought that many cases of sciatica, those that were not herniated disc related, had no cause, although there was speculation that the sciatic pain was caused by muscle and joint strain. Recently, advanced orthopaedic studies have shown that in many cases, sciatica is caused by a muscle imbalance.
Is There A Cure For Sciatica?
Luckily, yes there is. You may have noticed that most of the conditions have a common cause -muscle strain or muscle imbalance.
You could of course rely on non-prescription painkillers; these may relieve the sciatic pain for a short while but are fairly ineffective. Drugs prescribed by a doctor may be stronger and successful at dulling any sciatic pain but this is a temporary and somewhat pointless solution. Not only are prescription painkillers potentially addictive, they are a not a cure for the underlying symptoms of sciatic pain.
In order to cure sciatic pain you have to address the root causes of the symptoms. This, in most cases, is a muscle imbalance and more specifically, a muscle imbalance.
You could undergo treatment by a physiotherapist but they are rarely trained or aware of the latest advanced treatments, they mostly work with sports injuries and usually administer generalized treatment that is ineffective for sciatica and sciatic pain. In some cases, an under qualified physiotherapist can actually aggravate the sciatica condition and make the pain worse.
A chiropractor is great for skeletal alignment and joint injuries and problems but not so effective when it comes to muscular conditions. They may well correct a herniated disc but won’t treat the cause of the disc problem itself – muscle imbalance.
In order to cure sciatic pain and rid yourself of sciatica for good you need to treat the root cause of the condition, not the symptoms.
Muscle imbalance is the cause in nearly all cases of sciatica and to combat this imbalance you need specialist treatment that has been orthopedically designed and created solely for treating the root causes of sciatica. There is no need for drugs or painful stretching exercises. A treatment for spinal muscle imbalance and sciatic pain should be drug-free, natural and painless.
With the correct advanced treatment program, you could cure your sciatica and be sciatic pain free in 3-10 days, depending on the severity of your muscle imbalance.
