Sciatic Nerve Pain - The most common cause of sciatica is a herniated or buldging disk.
Sciatic Nerve Pain
Sciatica pain can be debilitating. It is caused when pressure is placed on the spinal
nerves of the lower back. Pain will typically go down the back of one or both legs.
Every patient is different, which means that the pain can be minimal, moderate, or
severe. It also indicates that the pain can come and go or stay constant. Other
symptoms besides pain can also be experienced, including burning, numbness, and
tingling, making it so that those who have been diagnosed need to seek treatment to
find relief.
What causes sciatica?
Some of the more common disorders that are known to cause sciatica pain in patients include having herniated or bulging discs, misaligned vertebrae putting pressure on the nerve, pregnancy, and childbirth.
The most common cause of sciatica without question is a herniated or bulging disc.
For someone to receive proper treatment for his or her sciatica, they will need first to understand why they are suffering from sciatica nerve pain.
When the disc bulges or herniates it puts pressure on the spinal nerves causing mild to severe pain depending on how big the bulge or herniation is and how long the herniation has been there. Pressure on the spinal nerves can certainly cause pain; however, even more, important than the pain, these nerves also attach to vital organs like the large intestine, kidney, bladder, uterus, ovaries (female), and the prostate gland (male).
