Sciatica Relief

lady with low back painA sharp pain shooting from your lower back down your leg? It could be sciatica. This common complaint happens when the sciatic nerve – the longest nerve in your body – becomes irritated or compressed. This condition can make even simple movements uncomfortable, whether it’s a dull ache, pins and needles, or a sharp sting.

Who’s More Likely to Get Sciatica and Why?

Anyone can suffer from these painful effects, but it often shows up in those who sit for long periods, such as office workers or drivers, and in women during pregnancy. It’s also common in people managing weight concerns or diabetes. It can sneak up after something simple, like bending over to tie your shoes, while for others, it builds gradually over time.

What Causes Your Nerve Pain?

Often, sciatica results from cumulative strain on the spine. Years of poor posture, repetitive movements, or general wear and tear may lead to spinal imbalances that put pressure on the nerve. As it becomes irritated, you may experience pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness that radiates down one or both legs.
