Sciatica is a type of pain that stems from the irritation or inflammation of the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve is the longest nerve in the human body running from the spinal cord through the buttocks and down each leg any right below the knee.
Common symptoms are leg pain tingling and numbness in the leg and feet, and pain throughout the lower back and buttocks.
To diagnose a physician will conduct a thorough physical exam of the patient to asses’ tenderness over certain areas of the spine along with the monitoring mobility of lower extremities as well as doing the neurological examination. There are several treatment options for sciatica.
Natural types of therapy like exercise, physical therapy, massage, a balanced nutritious diet and rest have found the aid in the relief from sciatica.
For patients with more severe cases of sciatica interventional types of treatment can be explored. These include epidural steroid injections as well as potential trigger point injections. Techniques like biofeedback and spinal cord stimulation have also been effective to decrease patient’s symptoms.
