Sciatica pains
complaint occurs frequently among the population. Even though it is a
universal problem its etiology is known to few. The pain gets its
name from a nerve of similar name in the body. It is not hard to
guess that this nerve is inflicted in this condition.
The specific pain eruption is in the
lower back or in the leg. It is here that the large Sciatica Nerve
exists. The cause could be traced to the lower spine where the nerve
root is embedded in its natural position. Only when the Sciatica
Nerve is compressed pinched or twisted the sensation of pain is felt.
Thus, Sciatica Pain is due to pressure and inflammation of the nerve
root.
In the language of the medical
fraternity such a condition is called radiculopathy. To a lay man it
can be explained as the condition when a spinal disc has moved from
its natural position. This has resulted in a push on the radicular
nerve present in the lower back. It forms a portion of the Sciatic
nerve.
What does a person
experience? Sciatica Pain has different influence on individuals.
Some only find it a source of irritation while for others it is so
severe that not only do they suffer physically but also work-wise.
The continuous pains inception is from
lower back thigh. It emits towards the leg and then and diffuses. The
point of affliction of the nerve is the deciding factor is how far
the pain will travel. At times it even reaches the foot and the toes.
If left untreated it can get worse.
