Sciatica is usually caused by pressure on the
sciatic nerve from a herniated disc or a ruptured disc. Middle aged
people between 30 to 50 years of age are more likely to suffer from
sciatica. Sciatica in general is a result of general wear and tear of
the structures of the lower spine. People suffering from sciatica get
better with time and find relief with non-surgical treatment i.e.
exercise for sciatica, back pain exercises and low back pain treatment.

For some people, the pain
from sciatica can be severe and debilitating. For others, the pain from
sciatica might be infrequent and irritating, but it always has the
potential to get worse. Usually, sciatica only affects one side of the
lower body, and the pain often radiates from the lower back all
the way
through the back of the thigh and down through the leg. Depending on
where the sciatic nerve is affected, you can also suffer from lower back
pain and leg numbing.
Chronic lower back pain is worst when you
are sitting. You can feel a burning or tingling down the leg or
weakness, numbness or difficulty moving the leg or foot. It is rare that
permanent nerve damage (tissue damage) may result from sciatica. Most
sciatica pain syndromes result from inflammation and get better within
two weeks to a few months. Also, because the spinal cord is not present
in the lower (lumbar) spine, a herniated disc in this area of the
anatomy does not present a danger of paralysis.
Exercise for
sciatica helps to thwart the pain in the back of head and back muscle
pain. Relief from back neck pain and back and leg pain can be achieved
with the help of back pain therapy.
