Sciatica Nerve Pain
Sciatica nerve pain is very uncomfortable and at some time during our lives, most of us will experience it at least once. Most people who have experienced it will tell you they have had sciatica.
The sciatic nerve is a motor and sensory nerve, and is the longest nerve in your body. Beginning in the pelvic region it runs from the lower back, through the buttocks and down the back of the thigh.
When sciatica nerve pain strikes, this indicates that the sciatic nerve has been over-stretched or pinched (usually through a herniated disk in the spinal lumbar region, and sometimes a result of pregnancy) you will definitely know it! Sciatic nerves are located in both the right and left leg, and as they reach the back of the knew they branch off, dividing into two and run down into the foot.
Symptoms are generally felt down one leg at a time or the lower back, and can present as anywhere from mild but manageable, to debilitating pain. Sometimes a numb sensation, slight "pins and needles" tingling or complete muscle weakness may be felt in the affected leg. Regardless of the pain level experienced, sciatica treatment is usually necessary. In severe cases of sciatica, loss of bladder or bowel control may occur and this indicates the urgent need for sciatica treatment by a professional chiropractor.
The best solution for rectifying the problem is to seek assessment and sciatica treatment from a professionally qualified Chiropractor, who will investigate and assess the cause of your pain and prescribe the best sciatica treatment for your individual problem.
Having your sciatica diagnosed and treated is crucial to relieving the sciatica nerve pain that may stop you from going about your every day tasks, at home, work or in sport. After just one sciatica treatment the relief of your pain may be noticeable, but depending on the severity of the problem causing your sciatica, several visits may be necessary to rectify the problem.
In the case of pregnancy, sciatica may be caused purely by temporary pressure on the spinal disks, may often be fixed with a simple visit for a sciatica treatment every few weeks and might not return after your baby is born. If you are pregnant, it is absolutely imperative that you bring this to the attention of any medical specialist before allowing them to treat you, including a chiropractor.
Unfortunately some people experience ongoing sciatica nerve pain, due to more serious damage to the spinal column, through either compressed or herniated disks, and may require regular, periodic, or long term sciatica treatment.
So there you have it! A simple assessment and sciatica treatment that can take just minutes may be all that is needed to relieve you of your horrible sciatica nerve pain, and have you back on the road to feeling great in no time at all.
