Sciatica pain treatment
Cold laser therapy or, if you prefer, laser acupuncture is a very helpful option for sciatica pain treatment. A cure is possible in most cases. This type of therapy doesn’t only address the symptoms it actually promotes healing. Signs, symptoms and cause: The sciatic pain most often starts at the buttocks, then runs down the back of the affected leg and stops below the knee at the calf. In more severe cases, the pain may also run down to the foot. Low back pain may or may not be present, if present it is usually less severe than the sciatic pain. Sciatica is mostly caused by nerve root compression between the fifth lumbar and first sacral vertebra (at the L5-S1 level). Pain often worsens while moving your back, coughing, sneezing, straining, or defecating. In severe cases, weakness and loss of feeling in the leg may appear. The nerve compression may be caused by soft tissue inflammation, spasm (piriformis syndrome), a bulging or ruptured intervertebral disc, osteoarthritis, narrowing of the space around the spinal cord (spinal stenosis), abnormal vertebra alignment, a fracture, an infection, birth defect or a tumour. Sciatica is also rarely caused by inflammation of the nerve itself as in diabetic neuropathy or in shingles. Sacroiliac strain may mimic sciatica by sending referred pain along the back of the thigh and calf as is sciatica.
