Pain in the low back & the legs is often related to the diagnosis of sciatica. These patients often seek relief from their pain, & stretches are often considered. To better underst& how to help a patient with sciatica, we must first underst& what this condition implies.

The name sciatica comes from the largest nerve in the body, the sciatic nerve. This nerve is comprised of five other nerves that exit the spine in the lumbar area & extends down to the feet. When any of these nerves are affected, it creates sciatic pain, so sciatica is not an illness; it is the word used to describe when pain or another type of discomfort affects the sciatic nerve & travels down from these nerves exit.

Sciatic pain can be felt in the glutes, back of the legs, & feet. This pain could feel as stabbing, radiating pain, or tingling, depending on how severe it is. It could also feel as numbness or weakness down this nerve's path.

Sciatica is most commonly found in the left side of the body, & the symptoms increase as more pressure is felt in the body as a result of compression & impingement of the sciatic nerves in the lumbar spine. This pain can be felt down the legs, but it is not often a leg problem, rather the pain radiating from the nerves in the lumbar spine & one of the nerve roots being compressed.

Sciatica is often caused due to intervertebral issues such as disc bulging, disc degeneration, & disc herniation. All of these happen when the spine shifts out of its normal alignment, & it starts to affect the surrounding discs, tissue, muscle & nerves in the affected area.

One more cause of sciatica is something else called spinal stenosis. This is the narrowing of the spinal canal which compresses nerves & can cause sciatic pain in the lumbar area. There is also a congenital form of spinal stenosis, this one is present at birth, disabling the spinal canal from maturing to its full size.

Another cause of sciatica is scoliosis. The most common scoliosis happens on the lumbar spine's left side, which explains why most patients feel sciatica pain in the left leg, as this area is the most affected by scoliosis. Scoliosis happens as the spine develops an unnatural sideways curve with rotation.

The most common symptoms of sciatica are:
Generalized Pain
Low back pain
Radicular pain (lower extremities, back of the calve, leg, & foot)

Pain levels can range from mild to intermediate, or even chronic & acute pain, which can cause it to become debilitating for patients. As sciatica reaches debilitating levels, that's when patients start to seek out help. This is one of the main drivers of spinal surgery for some patients.

Patients with sciatica must consider it will only worsen over time, even when taking steps just to improve the pain & related symptoms.

Something patients can do when having sciatica is stretching. For example:
Scissors Hamstring Stretch
Sciatic Nerve Glide
Back Flexion Stretch

Sometimes these stretches can temporarily increase sciatic nerve pain. In this case, patients must take it slowly until they build more tolerance. However, the best treatment for sciatica is by addressing the root of the pain. To do that, patients must find where the main misalignment of their spine is located & manage it. If the reason for sciatica is scoliosis, by reducing the scoliosis, you will also treat the sciatica.

This is done using a combination of chiropractic care, physical therapy, condition-specific exercises, & stretches which offer patients the best results. If patients only do one or two of these, they will not fully address the cause of their sciatica, & the treatment success lies in successfully combining all these treatments.

At Scoliosis Reduction Center, we offer proactive treatments & can help you address the underlying cause of your sciatica.
