Are You Suffering From Sciatica?
Watch this video to learn about how it is formed.
What Causes Sciatica To Form?
Your nervous system is essentially a large electrical grid. Your spinal cord sends an electrical nerve impulse that runs between your brain and lower back.
From there, individual nerves emerge from your spine and send impulses to your lower body to supply sensation and movement.
This is what enables you to move and perceive touch, heat, cold, and pain, among other senses. Any obstruction to this transmission has the potential to hurt and cause issues.
What Symptoms Are Associated With Sciatica?
If you are suffering from sciatica then you have been diagnosed with a "Lumbar Radiculopathy".
This indicates that one or more of the nerves that emerge from your lower back have gotten inflamed or maybe pinched. This frequently causes the patient to experience pain, numbness, or tingling in the particular portion of their leg that the inflamed nerve supplies.
The term "Sciatica" is often used to describe this condition because most (but not all) "lumbar radiculopathies" cases impact or involve the sciatic nerve which supplies the back & outside of your thigh and calf. Symptoms of lumbar radiculopathy can be varied but most suffer from some form of a dull ache to a constant severe sharp shooting pain. In some cases, you may find that your symptoms are aggravated by certain positions or movements.
