Sciatica FAQs

Sciatic pain can be excruciating. It can limit your movements and make it difficult to walk or perform daily tasks. The sciatic nerve runs from the base of your spine to your feet, making it the longest nerve in the body. Even a small amount of irritation can become unbearable over time. The answers to a few frequently asked questions will help you get the relief you need.

What Causes Sciatic Pain?

Sciatic pain can have a variety of causes. Slip and fall accidents, auto accidents, and degenerative disc disease are all common causes of sciatica. As we age, the small holes in the vertebrae that the nerves travel through become smaller. This is called stenosis and can irritate the delicate sheath that covers the nerves. Herniated discs are also a potential problem when it comes to the sciatic nerve.

Can Sciatica Be the Cause of My Lower Back Pain?

Damage to the sciatic nerve can be an indirect cause of lower back pain. The extent to which the sciatic nerve travels through the lower half of the body makes it possible for it to cause pain and discomfort in many different areas. Injuries to the lower back may extend to the sciatic nerve as well.

Common Treatments for Sciatica

Many different treatments can be used to relieve sciatic pain. Deep tissue massage and physical therapy are just two ways that are commonly used to treat sciatic pain. Both keep the soft tissues flexible and may help eliminate both inflammation and stiffness. Simple lifestyle changes such as regular exercise and a proper diet can support the healing process.
