Understanding Sciatica

Sciatica is a prevalent condition characterized by pain radiating along the sciatic nerve, the largest nerve in our body, running from the lower back through the hips and down each leg.

The condition occurs when the sciatic nerve, the largest nerve in the body, becomes compressed or irritated. The pain’s intensity can vary, manifesting as sharp, shooting, or tingling sensations.

Sciatica typically results from compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve due to various factors, including herniated discs, bone spurs, muscle hypertonicity, and inflammation in and around its pathway.

Additionally, adhesions between different fascial layers can impair the nerve’s gliding ability, leading to irritation and discomfort.

Sciatica is a common condition that affects millions of people worldwide. In fact, it’s estimated that up to 40% of individuals will experience sciatica at some point in their lives so don’t lose hope if you’re suffering from the condition.

Symptoms of sciatica can vary from mild discomfort to severe, debilitating pain. Common symptoms include:

  • Lower back pain is the most commonly reported by patients
  • Sharp, shooting pain along the path of the sciatic nerve, starting from the lower back and traveling through the hips and down one leg
  • Tingling or burning sensation along the nerve pathway
  • Weakness or numbness in the leg or foot
  • Difficulty sitting or standing for extended periods
  • Activities like walking or bending may exacerbate the pain.

It’s worth noting that patients may mistakenly interpret the symptoms as tight hamstrings, as it can be challenging to differentiate between muscle tightness and nerve tension.

  • Herniated Discs: Approximately 90% of sciatica cases are caused by a herniated disc, where the soft material inside the disc pushes out and presses on the sciatic nerve.
  • Spinal Stenosis: This condition, which involves the narrowing of the spinal canal, can lead to compression of the sciatic nerve.
  • Piriformis Syndrome: In some cases, the piriformis muscle, located in the buttocks, can spasm or become tight, putting pressure on the sciatic nerve.

At Functional Restoration Institute, we take a targeted approach to treat sciatica by focusing on the root cause of nerve dysfunction. By performing a comprehensive neurodynamic assessment, we identify the precise nerve problem and any tissue dysfunction surrounding it. Utilizing the fascial manipulation system, we address adhesions and restrictions in the nerve’s course, promoting improved gliding ability and reduced irritation. Our goal is to restore optimal nerve function and provide effective relief for sciatica, empowering patients to experience better nerve health and overall well-being.
