Finding Relief from Sciatica
A Path to Enhanced Well-being
Sciatica, a condition characterized by pain radiating from the lower back down the leg, can significantly impact your daily life. While many people experience occasional sciatic discomfort, untreated, it can worsen, leading to chronic pain and limited mobility.
Understanding Sciatica: A Holistic Perspective
Sciatica arises from the compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve, the largest nerve in the body. This nerve originates in the lower back and travels down the leg. Common causes of sciatic nerve compression include:
- Disc Herniation: When the soft inner portion of a spinal disc bulges or ruptures, it can press on the sciatic nerve.
- Spinal Misalignments: Misalignments or subluxations of the vertebrae can also compress the nerve.
- Postural Issues: Poor posture, repetitive strain, and injuries can contribute to spinal misalignments and nerve compression.
