Home Sciatica Sciatica is irritation of the sciatic nerve that passes down the back of each thigh. The sciatic nerve arises from the lower spine on either side and travels deep in the pelvis to the lower buttocks. From there it passes along the back of each upper leg and divides at the knee into branches that go to the feet. Sciatica typically causes pain that shoots down the back of one thigh or buttock.

85. Sciatica What Is sciatica? sciatica is a severe pain in the leg caused by compression, irritation, or inflammation of the sciatic nerve. Symptoms Of sciatica. http://www.firstchiro.com/sciatica.htm

Sciatica can be a distracting pain that starts in the lower back and extends down into one or both legs. Chiropractic care has proven to be quite helpful. What Is Sciatica? Sciatica is a severe pain in the leg caused by compression, irritation, or inflammation of the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerves are the largest and longest nerves in the body, reaching about the size of your thumb in diameter, and running down the back of each leg. Each sciatic nerve is composed of five smaller nerves that leave the spinal cord from the lower spinal column, join together and then travel down each leg It then divides into ninny smaller nerves that travel to the thigh, knee, calf, ankle, foot and toes When these nerves are irritated or affected by the inflammation of nearby soft tissues, doctors refer to this as sciatica. Symptoms Of Sciatica People with "sciatica" can suffer from a wide range of symptoms. Often the pain will come and go at times, it may be constant, but then it may subside for hours or days. Some people may feel only a dull ache or numbness, which travels down the back into the upper leg. For others, it may be intense "shooting pains" down the leg into the foot and toes. Many factors affect the pain of sciatica. Sitting in one position for long periods of time as when driving or working at a computer can increase the pain. Working out or running, or even simple things like walking, bending, turning or standing up may be difficult and painful. Tennis or golf and other twisting activities can cause sciatica pain to flare up. For some, the pain may be in both legs or change from side to side. For a number of others, back pain may occur before the sciatica itself. In the most severe cases, sciatica can damage reflexes, or even cause a wasting of the calf muscles.

Chronic Sciatica in a Complex Elderly Patient The first in a series of osteopathic management case studies designed to educate osteopathic family physicians on specific OMT techniques. By Zachary Comeaux, DO, FAAO C hief Complaint History of Chief Complaint He cited as his current complaint longstanding low back pain with radiation down the posterior and lateral part of his thigh, right side greater than left. He calls it sciatica. He has occasional foot burning. Although it was worse lately with inactivity, he could not recall any acute precipitating trauma or strain. He follows up regularly with a cardiologist and urologist and was most concerned that day with his back pain. Past Medical History He has advanced coronary artery disease and had been released recently from a rehabilitation facility after a severe reaction to lithium overdose for bipolar disorder during a hospital stay for placement of coronary arterial stents. He had reocclusion after four-vessel coronary bypass surgery in 1997. Treatment included physical therapy, which increased his mobility but caused him to be more aware of his hip pain.

89. Berkeley Parents Network: Advice About Sciatica Berkeley Parents Network Advice Pregnancy Childbirth Advice about sciatica. November 2003. Sarah I had a bad case of sciatica when I was pregnant. http://parents.berkeley.edu/advice/pregnancy/sciatica.html

Berkeley Parents Network Home Subscribe Post Reviews ... Search Advice about Sciatica Berkeley Parents Network Advice > Advice about Sciatica November 2003 I have checked the archives, and all I found on sciatica during pregnancy was recommendations for people to treat it in some way. I am looking for advice on what I, myself, can do to minimize the pain. I do not have the shooting-pain-down-one's- leg type of sciatica that I have heard others describe, but rather a near-constant ache in my right buttock. In the last few days it's become much more painful in the evenings, so intense that I sometimes can't move between standing and sitting. So... what can I do? Are there any stretches or exercises that would help? Do certain positions of sitting or sleeping make it any better or worse? Any advice appreciated! Sarah I had a bad case of sciatica when I was pregnant. Try elevating your feet when you are sitting. Get up and walk around every half hour. I think the key is to keep moving. I know it seems very painful to do that, but it does get easier. See if a warm/hot pad on the painful area helps. I thought it was helpful at night since you are not able to move much in bed. Feel better! Judy I've had pain in my upper right thigh since I hit 4.5 months. At first, everyone said it was sciaticaincluding my doctors and physical therapists. However, it felt very different from the descriptions of sciatica that I had readit's not shooting and it's more like constant numbness, tingling, and burning pain at the same time. Standing for more than 10 minutes is excruciating, walking is hard after a couple blocks, sitting can also be incredibly painful. Lying down even is uncomfortable at times.

Pain is the sensation that warns us that damage to our bodies is occurring. It functions as a quick-acting system that tells the motor systems of the brain that they must act to minimize or eliminate this damage. This assumes that there is a cause recognizable in biology for every pain - which is an effect.

In an extended sense, a leg is any part of an object that supports it off the ground. An example is the legs of a table or a chair. Strictly speaking, in human anatomy, the leg only includes everything between the knee and the foot, and is a part of the lower limb. Click the link for more information.

University Hospital Birmingham NHS Trust, Edgbaston, Birmingham, UK 2. Royal Orthopaedic Hospital, Northfield, Birmingham, UK 3. Aston University, Aston Triangle, Birmingham, UK 28th February 2002 Introduction The pathogenesis of low back pain and sciatica remains poorly understood despite being one of the commonest causes for consultation in primary care. Since mechanical compression involving the spinal disc space is insufficient alone to account for the pain associated with sciatica, attention has focused on inflammation of the nerve root resulting from exposure to the disc during herniation. The inflammation that is associated with sciatica has raised the question of a microbial aetiology, possibly with low virulent microorganisms, as found for example, with prosthetic hip infections. Over the last two decades the skin commensals, coagulase-negative staphylococci and propionibacteria, considered primarily as contaminants when isolated from patients, are being increasingly recognised as aetiological agents of infection.

Home Page Donate to Back Care ... Care Sciatica What is Sciatica? Sciatica is the name given to the pain in the leg that radiates from the lower back and buttock, down through the thigh and calf, sometimes reaching the toes. Sciatica literally means pain from pressure on the sciatic nerve. This pain can be felt as an aching, burning or stinging. It can be so severe that it makes every movement, including sitting, coughing and sneezing excruciating. It can be accompanied with feelings of numbness, pins and needles, spasms and cramp. Some people report no back pain, but the origin of the problem is in the spine. More common than true Sciatica, is "referred" pain in the leg, the back pain may be so intense that it "overflows" to the buttock, groin and leg. It is not caused by nerve pressure but by pain in a disc or facet joint or the surrounding soft tissues. What causes Sciatica? These confused messages sent via the nerves can be caused by an injury, for example a fall, damage caused by vibration and by cumulative strain, or by disorders such as spondylosis (the degenerative change to the vertebrae), facet joint inflammation or spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal).

BACK PAIN AND SCIATICA Revised 5/01/2004 A little background..... SUBLUXATION means loss of proper position....can be a bone or bones in the spine, head, elbow or any other joint. CHIROPRATIC is the art and science of analyzing the body structure for subluxations and correcting them. Low back pain can be caused by many things or combinations.....a dull aching can be caused by menstrual or uterine problems in women and prostate problems in men....trigger points in abdominal muscles can also cause low back pain. Foot, ankle, knee or hip problems can cause structural imbalances and can result in back pain. See my FEET page at link on bottom. Hypothyroid condition can cause stiffness and pain anywhere in addition to memory problems, hunger, depression, feeling cold (especially hands and feet) and fatigue. If you have pain that travels down your leg, it might be sciatica. Sciatica is not a disease in itself. Sciatica means irritation of the sciatic nerve.....the longest spinal nerve in your body. The sciatic nerve is composed of a group of nerves originating from your low back that combine below your waist as they travel toward your foot. Pain that moves along a nerve path is called "radiating" or "neurological" pain. "Neurological" or radiating back pain can be caused by subluxations in the sacroiliac or anywhere in the spine, neck or in the cranium (skull).....and, don't forget the feet. The muscles that turn your legs outward, the piriformis muscles, can cause the same pain if they are in spasm.

Visit Our New Fen-Phen Litigation Site Home Article Library Low Back Pain and Sciatica - Patient Information What Are Low Back Pain and Sciatica? The Spine. The spine is a column of small bones, or vertebrae, that supports the entire upper body. The column is grouped into three sections: the cervical vertebrae are the five spinal bones that support the neck; the thoracic vertebrae are the twelve spinal bones that connect to the rib cage; and the lumbar vertebrae are the five lowest and largest bones of the spinal column. Most of the body's weight and stress falls on the lumbar vertebrae. Below the lumbar region is the sacrum, a shield-shaped bony structure that connects with the pelvis at the sacroiliac joints. At the end of the sacrum are two to four tiny partially fused vertebrae known as the coccus or "tail bone". Vertebrae in the spinal column are separated from each other by small cushions of cartilage known as intervertebral discs. Inside each disc is a jelly-like substance called the nucleus pulposus, which is surrounded by a fibrous structure. The disc is 80% water, which makes it very elastic. It has no blood supply of its own, however, but relies on nearby blood vessels to keep it nourished. Each vertebra in the spine has a number of bony projections, known as processes. The spinal and transverse processes attach to the muscles in the back and act like little levers, allowing the spine to twist or bend. The articular processes form the joints between the vertebrae themselves, meeting together and interlocking at the facet joints.

About Medic8 SCIATICA AND DISC PROLAPSE - a patient's guide Dr Peter Robertson - Orthopaedic and Spinal Surgeon DEFINITION OF SCIATICA Sciatica is pain within the pathway and distribution of the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve is formed by nerves from the spine at the junction of the lumbar and sacral regions. The nerve passes from the spine into the pelvis then into the buttock, posterior (back of) thigh and down below the knee. Below the knee the nerve divides into two branches, one going through the posterior (back) calf down the inner side of the ankle, and a second division goes through the outer side of the calf around the top of the ankle and foot to the toes. The important features of sciatic pain are that it goes below the knee, and it is associated with neurological symptoms. The neurological symptoms include a sharp or burning character to the pain; changes in sensation such as tingling, pins and needles or numbness; and association with weakness.
