Are you suffering from back pain that radiates into the leg? It could be sciatica. Sciatica is a painful and disabling condition affecting the sciatic nerve. Here are a few signs to check for sciatica.
The sciatic nerve is a large bundle of nerves that converge together from the lumbar region of our spine together into our buttock area. It is responsible for the nerve supply in our lower limbs. Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve is pinched by the piriformis muscle, herniated disc or slippage in the spine.
Sciatica can be confused with a range of other conditions such as referred pain from the muscles. People with sciatica typically also experience:
1. Pain with prolonged sitting, or bending.
2. Pain that is worse with coughing, sneezing or pushing in the toilet.
3. Pain with lifting up a straight leg when laying down.
4. Tingling or electric shock in the leg.
5. Weakness in the leg.
6. An uneven spine due to structural compensation in the back ie. antalgia.
During your assessment with our chiropractors at Spearwood Chiropractic, we will go through a thorough analysis to pinpoint the source of your sciatica in order to formulate an effective plan to relieve your sciatic pain.
