What Is Sciatica?
Sciatica refers to pain that spreads from the sciatic nerve, which runs through your lower back, hips, and down your legs. When a pinch or compression occurs on this nerve, it causes pain to radiate from the nerve and down the body. Sciatica symptoms include inflammation and numbness. In most cases, sciatica only affects one side of the body. While sciatic nerve pain can go away on its own if left untreated, it’s best to deal with it to minimize the impact on your lifestyle. Vitamins for sciatic pain, such as magnesium, can decrease inflammation while over-the-counter medications like ibuprofen can help deal with the pain. However, the best relief for sciatica is a combination of decompression therapy, stretching exercises, and other forms of physical therapy, which produce much better results than DIY methods.
What Does Sciatica Feel Like?
While each case is unique, sciatica is a pain that radiates from your lower back down through the buttocks and legs. This type of pain is the most common symptom of sciatica.
Depending on the severity of your sciatica, the pain can be a mild annoyance or excruciating. Sciatica may feel like a mild ache, an electric shock, or a burning sensation. Some people may also experience tingling, muscle weakness, or numbness along with sciatica pain.
WHAT CAUSES SCIATICA?
Sciatica pain happens when the sciatic nerve gets pinched, often by a herniated disk or a bone spur in the spine. Diseases like diabetes or a tumor may also cause sciatica, although these causes are less common.
Several risk factors may increase someone’s chance of developing sciatica. Studies show that age-related causes are the most common source of sciatica pain.
As we age, herniated discs or bone spurs naturally become more common. Obesity can also cause sciatica as the increased weight puts pressure on your spine. For those with jobs requiring them to carry heavy loads, sit for long periods, or otherwise put stress on their back, sciatica also becomes an increased risk.
