Hence the reason for this post. My goal is to make this the most complete and succinct summary of sciatica pain treatment you\u2019ve seen. Let me know what you think…????<\/p>\n
The sciatic nerve exits from the spine at the lower spinal levels of L4-S3. The multiple exit points help to form branches that eventually merge to form the largest nerve in the body.<\/p>\n
Because of its size, length, and multiple branches, sciatica pain is often full of complications and very frustrating.<\/p>\n
Sciatica symptoms can be experienced as pain in the low-back, in the hips and piriformis, and even down the leg, into the feet.<\/p>\n
To begin, if your sciatica originates in the low-back<\/a>, the problem may be due to a shift in the spine that promotes a disc herniation, an enlarged facet capsule (specific part of the vertebrae), or thickening of the ligaments that surround the vertebrae. These could all pinch the nerve as it exits the spine.<\/p>\n If sciatica starts in the low back, it is likely that different positions will aggravate or make you feel better. Specifically, if you spend more time in a flexed position (think rounded forward), you\u2019ll need to spend more time in the opposite position. Try using a lumbar support to help. If you spend more time in the opposite position of hyper-extension, you\u2019ll want to focus on staying in a braced posture (Unsure of what \u201cbraced\u201d means?
