Physical Therapy, Chiropractic Care, Acupuncture, Assisted Stretching, And Massage Therapy Can Help Relieve Sciatica Pain !
Sciatica pain is medically known as “lumbar radiculopathy.” Majority of the people who develop this condition are between the ages of 30 and 50. Sciatica can be caused by a variety of sciatic nerve injuries. Including arthritis, bone spurs, herniated discs, or other nerve injuries.
People with sciatica experience pain along the sciatic nerve, which is the largest nerve in your body. The sciatic nerve begins at your lower back and splits at the base of your spine. Extending further down your body through your buttocks, legs, and finally ends at the bottom of each foot.
Sciatica can cause pain in your back, buttocks, hamstrings, legs, and feet, sometimes all at the same time. This is usually due to tightness in the hip and gluteal muscles. As a result, the sciatic nerve can become compressed as it passes through these tissues. When the sciatic nerve becomes compressed or irritated, you may experience a “shooting,” “stinging,” or “burning” sensation in your lower back, buttocks, legs, or feet.
