How is Sciatica Contributing to Your Pain?
- posted: Dec. 07, 2017
Sciatica is not a condition, but instead a name for a set of uncomfortable symptoms that are often present together when too much pressure is placed on the body's sciatic nerve. Compressed discs and herniated discs are often responsible for placing high pressure on the sciatic nerve, resulting in pain, tingling and numbness. The symptoms are usually localized to the lower extremities and lower back, although some patients also experience neck pain as well. The result is often sharp back pain, difficulty sitting and standing, as well as difficulty performing normal tasks.You may have developed sciatica as the result of a personal injury that you suffered at work or while participating in athletic activity. Sciatic nerve conditions are also common among individuals who are the victims of car accidents. Often, the injuries that cause sciatic symptoms are easily remedied with chiropractic care, although the treatments are most effective when given while the injury is still relatively new. Waiting several months or years to seek the help of a chiropractor may require longer or more frequent treatments.
