What Is Lower Back Pain & Sciatica?
Sciatica is a pain from the lower back down to the hip, buttocks and leg. You may experience a shooting pain from you back down to your leg or a slight aching or tingling sensation.
It is caused by placing too much pressure on the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back down to the lower leg. This increased pressure could happen for a number of reasons. For example, pregnant women may develop sciatica as a result of the extra pressure added to their bodies. This, along with other pregnancy pains may be remedied with osteopathy. For others, it often develops as the spine ages or through an injury occurred during sport or heavy lifting activities.
Sciatica often develops suddenly and may last several days or weeks. It will generally come and go however, if you think you have been experiencing sciatic pain, seek out advice from one of our friendly osteopaths on how to manage your discomfort more effectively.
Lower back pain can be very complex and can occur for many reasons, which may include sporting injuries, accidents, period pain, heavy lifting or degenerative issues such as arthritis. Through determining the underlying cause of your pain your osteopath is able to provide treatment and develop a strategy to manage or improve your pain — book your appointment with one of our friendly and experienced osteopaths for your pain management consultation.
