What Is Sciatica?<\/h2>\n
\"\"
SpiceUniverse<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Sciatica is the pain that is felt along the path of the sciatic nerve. This nerve traces a path that branches from the lumbar area (the lower back), to the hips, to the buttocks, and down each leg. When the sciatic nerve is pinched or compressed, some people experience pain in varying degrees of intensity. A herniated disk bulging out onto the nerve, or a bone spur sticking out the spine, or a narrowing of the spine (spinal stenosis), are all possibilities as to why the sciatic nerve could get pinched or compressed.<\/p>\n

Some cases of sciatica can cause severe pain. However, even with severe pain, some cases resolve within a few weeks, even without treatment. In the more extreme cases of sciatica, the pain is debilitating enough to prevent a person from walking, or sometimes cause severe weakness in the leg. Bowel or bladder issues are also known to happen as a result of sciatica. At this point, when mobility, bowel, and bladder are already affected, the patient may already be recommended for surgery.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Age As A Risk Factor For Sciatica<\/h2>\n
\"\"
SamWell Institute for Pain Management<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Not everyone will experience sciatica. However, there are some factors that increase a person\u2019s risk of developing the condition. Age is the most common risk factor in developing sciatica. As a person ages, there will be changes in their musculoskeletal structure (the muscles and the bones). This includes changes in the spine. Some people develop herniated discs, a condition when one or several discs between vertebrae start to bulge out of alignment. The bulging can sometimes press on the sciatic nerve and cause sciatica. In some cases, a person would develop a bone spur, a growth of bone tissue that branches off and presses onto flesh or, in the case of sciatica, presses onto the sciatic nerve.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Prolonged Sitting And Obesity Raise The Risks Of Sciatica<\/h2>\n
\"\"
Athlete Physical Therapy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Sitting for too long can cause structural changes in the spine. The natural curve on the lower back will eventually take the strain of the seated position, especially if the person\u2019s sitting posture tends to slouch. Unless a person is always mindful, it is natural for most people to slouch several times over the span of time sitting for more than an hour. If the person is slouched for too long, the discs take an imbalanced strain and sometimes start to bulge.<\/p>\n

Obesity also increases the stress on a person\u2019s spine. The increased weight, and the sometimes imbalanced weight distribution, over time, can cause the spine to change in structure and shape. These changes can cause structures around the sciatic nerve to press onto or compress the nerve, thereby causing sciatica.<\/p>\n

Sciatica Treatment Options<\/h2>\n
\"\"
HCAH<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The ultimate goal for treating sciatica is to eliminate the pain, and correct whatever is causing it. In milder cases of sciatica, treatment is nothing more than pain management for the temporary time that pain occurs. In more severe cases, there are physical therapies available. In the extreme cases of sciatica, surgery is sometimes necessary.<\/p>\n

Pain management options for sciatica include self-care without medication, as well as medication options. There are also some physical stretches and exercises that are recommended to help relieve the pain. Read on to learn more details about pain management options for sciatica.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Cold Pack<\/h2>\n
\"\"
Amazon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In most cases of musculoskeletal pain, the most expedient non-medication treatment is an Ice Pack or Cold Pack. Sciatica is not a musculoskeletal injury, but just the same, applying a cold pack to the painful area helps numb the nerves from the pain. If you have an ice pack at home, simply put ice in it and apply it to wherever it hurts. The recommended length of application is 20 minutes at a time, and then you give the area respite from the cold before the cold becomes uncomfortable. Do this cold pack application for however many times in a day it is needed to relieve the pain. If you do not have an ice pack or cold pack at home, there are several options for making DIY cold packs. Get a plastic sandwich bag, sealable or open-top does not matter as long as you can close it, put ice in it, close it, and apply it to the painful area. It might help to wrap your cold pack in a towel to prevent water dripping (either from melted ice, if your plastic bag has a leak, or from the condensation that forms on the bag) and making a mess or slippery spot on the floor. If a plastic bag is not an option, chill a glass bottle or a flat metal object and press those onto the painful area. But really, an ice pack is so readily available. You would probably be spending less in the long-term, and getting much more out of it, if you just go to your local drug store and buy an ice pack.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Hot Pack<\/h2>\n
\"\"
Lazada<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In treating musculoskeletal injuries, the first aid is to apply cold packs for 20 minutes at a time for the first 48 hours. There are two main reasons for this. The first reason for this is to numb the injured area from the pain of the injury. The other reason is to slow down the fluid flow into the injured area, therefore preventing a buildup of fluids in the injured part, and thereby preventing swelling of the injured area. After 48 hours, the recommendation is to switch to a hot pack.<\/p>\n

A hot pack also serves two main purposes. First, it helps soothe pain, though not necessarily by numbing the area. The second is that it increases blood flow to the injured area. The increased blood flow is meant to increase the repair cells and nourishment that will help heal the damaged tissue.<\/p>\n

In the case of sciatica, it is not an injury that needs repair of damaged tissue. It is an inflammation and an issue with a nerve getting pinched or compressed. A hot pack is recommended as a means to soothe the pain. While it is not expected to repair damaged tissue, it will increase the flow of fluids to the area, fluids with nutrients to help heal the inflammation.<\/p>\n

Some people find more relief from a cold pack. Others find more relief from a hot pack. It is up to you to choose. Both will work to some degree, but which one works better for you is your choice.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Deep Breathing Exercises<\/h2>\n
\"\"
Banyan Botanicals<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Deep breathing exercises are good not only for the lungs, but for the rest of the body as well. When there is more air in the lungs, there will be more oxygen that can be drawn from that air, to be distributed to the muscles. More oxygen available for the muscles will help relieve tension in the muscles.<\/p>\n

When a person experiences pain, the mind goes into tension, and the stress of it tends to highlight the pain more. By engaging in deep breathing, the mind is conditioned to calm down and relax, reducing the stress hormones, which then relaxes the body, which then helps reduce the pain. Think of it as reversing the body-mind process. If the body influences the mind (the physical pain causes mental stress), that is proof that there is a connection between the two. If you instead control the mental stress, that connection allows you to also influence the physical body.<\/p>\n

A good technique to try is to breathe in through your nose for 4 seconds, then breathe out through the mouth for 4 seconds. Try to sit up straight, or stand up straight, if the sciatica allows you to do so when you do the breathing exercise. Keep the breath smooth, not in gasps. As you breathe in, fill and try to expand your lungs with air. As you breathe out, blow through the mouth to get a more complete exhalation.<\/p>\n

Focus on the breaths. The rhythmic pattern may start to keep your mind off the pain until you no longer notice the pain. If you have to close your eyes to rid yourself of distractions, do so. Keep up the deep breathing exercises for as long as you wish. Get into the habit of breathing deeply, such that you already subconsciously breathe deeply regularly.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Pain Relief Liniment Oils, Creams, Or Lotions<\/h2>\n
\"\"
Olive Oil Marketplace<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Pain-Relief Liniments are a general term for medicated topical preparations meant to be applied to the skin, specifically to address pain. It comes in various forms, ranging from oils, or creams, or lotions. Ben-Gay would be a common brand familiar to many, but it is not the only pain relief liniment in the market. Different brands would have different ingredients, but the most common ingredient among them would be menthol and methyl salicylate. Some liniments contain lidocaine, which is an anesthetic.<\/p>\n

Liniments are meant to be applied directly onto the painful body part. It has a minty or cool feel to it, though the more potent ones can cause a little hot stinging sensation for the first few minutes after being applied. The idea is that the cooling effect will either soothe or numb the area, or both.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Over-The-Counter Pain Relief Medicines<\/h2>\n
\"\"
Michigan Health Blog<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There are a number of over-the-counter pain relief medicines available to anyone who is suffering from sciatica. The most common over-the-counter medicines recommended for people suffering from sciatica include anti-inflammatories and muscle relaxants. NSAIDs, or Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs, have shown consistent results to reduce pain, swelling, and inflammation related to sciatica. Different brands offer different ingredients in differing strengths. As long as they are over-the-counter medicines, the choice rests on the patient. However, despite being over-the-counter medicines, it is still advisable to check with your medical doctor or pharmacist if the medicine you intend to take has any possible side effects that you might be prone to have. For example, people who are prone to developing ulcers are not recommended to take aspirin, because aspirin has been known to be contributory to ulcers and bleeding for some people. For people who are not supposed to be taking NSAIDs, Acetaminophen is sometimes recommended.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Stretching<\/h2>\n
\"\"
Premier Health<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Stretching the muscles are an overall good body conditioning measure. It is recommended that every person stretches muscles upon waking, before exercising, after exercising, and every 30 minutes of sitting at a desk. Stretching relaxes the muscles, relieves tension, and helps remind a person to correct their posture.<\/p>\n

There are several stretches that are specifically helpful for people suffering sciatica. Some of these stretches are recommended to be done regularly, proactively, as a means of preventing the onset of pain, or at least reducing it if it does still occur. There are also some stretches that are designed to relieve pain. The most basic of both these kinds of stretches are meant to release tension on the lumbar area (the lower back), the buttocks, and the hamstrings (backside of the thigh). Check with a Physical Therapist or a Medical Doctor who specializes in musculoskeletal systems and sciatica relief, and have them teach you the stretching techniques recommended for your specific case. Most of the stretches are meant to be done on your own, without special equipment.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Exercise<\/h2>\n
\"\"
Healthmug<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

For the longest time, regular exercise has been a mainstay recommendation for overall fitness and health. Improving, or at least maintaining, cardiovascular performance and health, mobility, functional performance, muscle condition, and body composition, have always been touted as benefits of exercise. Exercise, if done properly with post-workout cooldown and stretching, also loosens muscles from tension. The loosening of muscles from tension contribute to the reduction of sciatica pain, and may even help prevent the onset of pain altogether.<\/p>\n

Because obesity is contributory to the risk of suffering sciatica, it is a good idea to manage one\u2019s weight. Specifically, keep the muscle-to-weight ratio higher than the fat-to-weight ratio. Exercise, when combined with a lean diet, helps keep obesity at bay, and increases the muscle capacity to bear the bodyweight.<\/p>\n

Exercise is also contributory to pain management itself. Exercise triggers the body to release Endorphins, the happy hormone. Endorphins are hormones that the pituitary gland releases as a means to address pain and stress. Physical activities, like exercise and sex, are also known to trigger the release of endorphins. Endorphins are called the happy hormone because they actually trigger the de-stressing of the body, including the blocking out of pain. This is helpful to people suffering from sciatica.<\/p>\n

And finally, exercise is good for maintaining good posture. The muscular strength developed in exercise makes it easier for the body to keep itself in the proper position, able to hold the proper posture more habitually, and for longer periods of time.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Be Mindful Of Proper Posture<\/h2>\n
\"\"
BodyBuilding<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Sometimes the most expedient and convenient way to relieve sciatica is simply to get in the correct posture. In fact, mindfully maintaining the correct posture may help prevent sciatica in the first place.<\/p>\n

The normal human spine has 3 curves. The curve on the lower back, called the lumbar curve, is meant to go from the upper back, toward the front, and return to the back. When people get tired, they tend to slouch. This is true whether they are standing or seated. Unfortunately, slouching counteracts the natural optimal balance of the body, which puts undue strain on the spine in general. What is worse is that slouching tends to reverse the natural shape of the lumbar curve, which puts undue strain on the spinal discs and may cause them to bulge out, impinging on the sciatic nerve. Slouching from time to time, infrequently, will not likely put a major strain on the lumbar curve. However, if slouching becomes more frequent and\/or prolonged, it increases the chances of developing sciatica.<\/p>\n

\u201cSit up straight\u201d may have been an instruction used by parents for a long time to make their children look sharper, but that instruction may actually be useful in preventing sciatica, too. Be mindful to sit up straight, or stand up straight. Proper posture is as simple as that.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Acupuncture<\/h2>\n
\"\"
Healthline<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Acupuncture is considered in Western Culture as an alternative medicine method. In reality, it has been a normal practice of medicine in several ancient Asian cultures like those in China, Japan, and Korea. In acupuncture, hair-thin needles are stuck into the skin at very specific points on the body. These needles either stimulate or desensitize certain nerves in the body, depending on which points they are applied. Acupuncture is already widely used across western cultures, although there are still some inconsistencies in their effectiveness. Some patients testify that it worked wonders for them, while others insist it did not work for them at all. For sciatica, some doctors do recommend acupuncture for pain relief. Note that acupuncture must be done by a trained and licensed practitioner.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Chiropractic<\/h2>\n
\"\"
Mile High Spine & Pain Center<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Spinal adjustment, or spinal alignment, or spinal manipulation, are forms of therapy that are done in chiropractic. Chiropractors will literally manipulate the shape of the patient\u2019s spine. Shaping or aligning it to what is the optimal formation of the vertebrae. With regard to sciatica, the objective in chiropractic is to improve or restore spinal function and thereby decrease pain. There are many cases where chiropractic would be appropriate for treating sciatica. However, even chiropractors themselves will admit that chiropractic is not a cure-all for all sciatica cases. There are some sciatica cases that will not benefit from chiropractic. Check with your medical doctor or chiropractor, they will be the ones in a best position to assess and ascertain if chiropractic is for you.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Cortiscosteroids<\/h2>\n
\"\"
MedShadow<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Corticosteroids are a medication that suppresses inflammation around an irritated nerve. In the case of sciatica, a doctor may recommend an injection of corticosteroids around the sciatic nerve. By suppressing the inflammation, the corticosteroids also prevent the onset of pain, or at least reduce its intensity if pain does still occur. The inflammation and pain suppressing effects of corticosteroids usually last for several weeks or months, depending on several factors like dosage and the patient\u2019s sensitivity to the drug. Doctors will sometimes NOT recommend corticosteroid injections because there are some adverse side effects to the drug. And even if a doctor recommends corticosteroid injections for pain management, the dosage and frequency of application will have to be strictly administered by the doctor, not a DIY thing, also because of the adverse side effects that can manifest.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Surgery<\/h2>\n
\"\"
Scientific American<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Most cases of sciatica do not require treatment other than to manage the pain through any or a combination of the methods listed in this article. Some sciatica cases resolve on their own after a few weeks or months. However, there are cases of sciatica that are more debilitating, more painful, can cause severe leg weakness, and even limit mobility. For such extreme cases, the doctor may recommend surgery.<\/p>\n

There are generally two kinds of surgery to resolve sciatica: Microdiscectomy and Laminectomy. In a microdiscectomy, portions of the herniated disc are removed to relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve. In a laminectomy, fragments of the vertebra are removed to release its pressing on the sciatic nerve. Which one applies to you, or if either even apply to you at all, will have to be determined by a medical doctor. Remember, not all cases of sciatica require surgery, so do not be surprised if your doctor chooses to not have you undergo surgery. This leads us to a very important reminder regarding sciatica: the importance of getting a proper diagnosis.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Getting A Proper Diagnosis<\/h2>\n
\"\"
Harvard Health<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Not all back pain is sciatica. Sciatica is specifically pain in the back, or in the buttocks, or in the leg, caused by the pinching or compressing of the sciatic nerve. Some cases of back pain are sharp, some are dull. Sciatica is the same. Some cases of back pain last for weeks, even months. That happens in sciatica, too, with some cases resolving without the need for treatment. It is difficult for an untrained person to determine if the pain truly is sciatica or something else. This is especially so because there are other possible cases of back pain. Back pain can sometimes be because of a malfunctioning organ, like a kidney, or another back injury like a slipped disc. The danger here is if an untrained person (read: not a medical doctor) decides to diagnose, and they diagnose incorrectly, you could be trying to treat the pain as sciatica (and subsisting on stretching and over-the-counter painkillers), when you should instead be treating an illness that needs immediate attention. The only reliable diagnosis if the pain you are experiencing is sciatica or something else is a medical doctor. Get a proper diagnosis, you will get a proper treatment.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Preventing Sciatica<\/h2>\n
\"\"
MedicineNet<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

To some extent, sciatica is a preventable condition. Of the 3 main risk factors for sciatica: age, obesity, and bad posture, only age is completely non-modifiable.<\/p>\n

Obesity is sometimes modifiable. Even if not totally eliminated, obesity can still be reduced. Live an active lifestyle and stick to a lean diet, you will likely be able to avoid or reduce fat buildup, and\/or increase muscle strength. If you can control obesity, you can prevent straining your spine with the extra load and instability due to imbalanced weight distribution.<\/p>\n

To further reduce the load and instability on the spine, be mindful to keep a proper posture. Stand up straight, or sit up straight, and avoid slouching. If you do HAVE TO slouch, be as brief with it as possible. Although, seriously, you would be hard-pressed to come up with any number of reasons to slouch.<\/p>\n

You cannot prevent ageing, that is a given. In fact, ageing is a good thing. It means you did not die young. That leaves you with only the options to control your obesity, and control your posture. Do these two right (control obesity and control posture), and you just might be able to effectively prevent sciatica.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
