What is Sciatica?
Sciatica refers to a common condition in which the sciatic nerve is inflamed. The sciatic nerve is the largest single nerve in the body and runs from the lower back down the leg. Because of the length of this nerve, nerve pain from a variety of symptoms is common. Sciatic pain can be caused by disc herniation, spinal stenosis, piriformis syndrome, and many other conditions.
Sciatic pain can be acute or chronic and can develop at any point during the life course. Those with advanced age, a sedentary lifestyle, poor nutrition, or genetic predisposition are all at increased risk for Sciatica.
What are the Symptoms of Sciatica?
Core symptoms of sciatica include pain, numbness, and tingling radiating down the leg. These symptoms are often most present in the morning or after sitting or standing for an extended period. The pain may be intermittent, but treatment can help reduce the frequency of symptoms. It is essential to speak with a physical therapist early to identify pain and develop a treatment plan.
How Can Physical Therapy Help?
Sciatica is often treated through both pain management and physical therapy regimens. Most patients are able to achieve a reduction of symptom severity within a few weeks and long-term relief through at-home exercises to correct imbalances within the body. Lifestyle changes are also important to reduce current pain and prevent future symptoms. In general, we recommend a combination of lifestyle changes, pain management, and physical therapy to achieve long-lasting results. Physical therapy can significantly lower the chances of return pain. You will be given an at-home routine to continue correcting any conditions that led to the initial sciatic pain.
