search Receive Spine News patient>conditions>sciatica Sciatica: Description and Diagnosis Steven R. Garfin, M.D. Professor and Chair Department of Orthopaedics, University of California San Diego, CA, USA Is Sciatica a Disorder or a Symptom? The term "sciatica" is commonly used to describe pain traveling in the distribution of the sciatic nerve. Sciatica is a symptom caused by a disorder occurring in the lumbar spine. The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the human body, about the diameter of a finger. Sciatica Fig 1 Sciatic nerve fibers begin at the 4th and 5th lumbar vertebra (L4, L5) and the first few segments of the sacrum. The nerve passes through the sciatic foramen just below the Piriformis muscle (rotates the thigh laterally), to the back of the extension of the hip and to the lower part of the Gluteus Maximus (muscle in the buttock, thigh extension). The sciatic nerve then runs vertically downward into the back of the thigh, behind the knee branching into the hamstring muscles (calf) and further downward to the feet. Sciatica Fig 2 Sciatic Nerve (yellow) Sacrum Hip Bone Yellow = Nerve Structures Red Structures = Arteries Blue Structures = Veins Sciatic Symptoms Usually sciatica affects one side of the body. The pain may be dull, sharp, burning, or accompanied by intermittent shocks of shooting pain beginning in the buttock traveling downward into the back or side of the thigh and/or leg. Sciatica then extends below the knee and may be felt in the feet. Sometimes symptoms include tingling and numbness. Sitting and trying to stand up may be painful and difficult. Coughing and sneezing can intensify the pain.

Back Pain and Sciatica Back pain is very common and a major cause of disability and days off work. It is usually non-inflammatory ("mechanical") in origin. It is often due simply to bad posture, incorrect lifting of heavy loads or sometimes previous injury. Often this type of back pain can be helped by exercises to strengthen back muscles, improvement of bad posture and lifting technique, and sometimes a lumbar support corset. Pain killers and anti-inflammatory drugs are also used for symptom relief. A comprehensive patient guide to back pain is also available from Medical Multimedia Group Slipped Disk The bones which make up the spine are separated by soft discs which help the bones to move on one another when you bend your back. Somtimes the centre of a disc pops out of position, referred to as a slipped disc. This causes pain and limited movement, and if the disc presses on a nerve it may cause weakness of a muscle (usually in one leg) and numbness or a tingling sensation. Sciatica Sciatica describes a pain which spreads down one leg from the buttock on one side. It originates in the lower back where the sciatic nerve is pinched as it leaves the spine, and this causes pain to be felt all the way down the leg.

No, it may take years of your body's fighting off a condition until it is overwhelmed with too much stress from other areas. Just like any other vigilant army, your immune response or musculoskeletal compensatory mechanisms give up to whatever they were trying to fight off. Then, the pain/dysfunction patterns emerge.... headaches, sciatica, neck pain, back pain, sore shoulders, dizziness, fatigue, loss of range of motion, constipation, tingling, numbness, loss of feeling, weakness, muscle stiffness, carpal tunnel syndrome, sore feet, etc. Any of this sound familiar?

Sciatica The sciatic nerves are the largest nerves in the body- -about as big around as your finger. They start in the lower spine, pass behind the hip joint, and go down the buttock and back of the leg to the foot.Pain from this nerve, called sciatic, may be felt from the hip to the big toe. Is sciatica different from back pain ? Yes, although low back pain often comes with it. Usually, sciatica affects only one side and pain often radiates down the buttock or leg. It can range from a tingling, burning, pins-and-needles feeling to excruciating, shooting pain that makes standing up nearly impossible. Coughing, sneezing, and sitting make the pain worse. Your leg or foot may be numb or weak and have odd sensations in it. You may be unable to move your foot or bend your knee.

The management of each of these types of pain is different and should be understood to be such. Mechanical back pain (e.g., lumbosacral sprain, lumbar facet syndrome) dull aching pain caused by an injury which radiates to buttocks, knees or groin. Radicular (root) pain caused by herniated or ruptured disc. Pain is localized in the back but travels down the legs to the foot. Post surgical pain generally a combination of mechanical and radicular pain. Principles of Management The goals of pain management are basic: 1) pain relief; 2) physical rehabilitation; and, 3) control of psychological and emotional problems. Pain Relief Pain relief can be achieved by: 1) medications; 2) nerve blocks; and, 3) neuroaugmentation.

59. Sciatica, Acupuncture And Traditional Oriental Medicine sciatica, Acupuncture and Traditional Oriental Medicine takes a look at the way in which sciatic pain is addressed with acupuncture and other TCM, or TOM http://gancao.net/ht/sciatica.shtml

Sciatica, Acupuncture and Traditional Oriental Medicine by Al Stone L.Ac. Introduction; my own experience with an Oriental sciatica treatment My very first experience with traditional Chinese medicine came when I had some sciatica pain during a kung fu workout. I asked my kung fu teacher about it. He showed me some acupoints on my leg to press at home that night and the next day. They weren't too hard to get to, but it was nice for him to press them for me this first time. To my utter amazement, the pain was 95% gone the very next day. The sciatica pain that began in my lower back and radiated down to my little toe was gone after one session of acupressure. In my experience, the pain would peak for about three days, and then take about two weeks to completely fade away. But in this case it was completely gone in two days. Not all sciatica patients respond to just acupressure. Cases such as mine did because, even though it wasn't a pleasant situation for me, it was just a minor ache. Some patients require the stronger stimulation of acupuncture. I get many letters from people reading this article who want to know what points to press or how to press them. It is difficult to answer this question briefly, but I can say that if you want to simply mash your thumb into any location on the lower back or leg that is sensitive along the trajectory of the sciatica pain, you'll be helping the problem. Don't push so hard that it causes a bruise and don't do it so hard that it is very painful. Just a little painful is really what you want to shoot for. Use the thumb for points on the legs. For tendor points on the buttocks, you'll want ot use your elbow to get in there deeply. Hold down each point for two minutes.
