Sciatica 101
Sciatica is simply an irritation or compression of the large bundle of nerves that travels from your low back down the leg to the foot. Any pain that radiates or follows part way along this course is generally described as Sciatica. Sciatica is the result of injury or damage to one or more of the supporting structures of the back. These include the muscles, ligaments, joints, discs, nerves and bones. In most cases it is a combination of several of these with each effected structure presenting with different degrees of pain and limitation. This can lead to a complicated overlay of signs and symptoms which are often misdiagnosed buy less skilled practitioners. The key to a successful outcome depends on a thorough understanding, an accurate diagnosis and appropriate timely treatment.
What You May Feel
Depending on the number of structures affected and the severity thereof, sciatica may vary from a constant dull ache in the buttocks to more serious sharp shooting pains or weakness that extends to the legs. Pain is usually aggravated by movement and most comfortable positions include lying down with a pillow under your knees, or on your side in the fetal position.
