NATURAL TIPS FOR SLIPPED DISC AND SCIATICA PAIN

Sciatic pain

Sciatic pain is the result of pressure on the sciatic nerve; it runs down each leg from the lower spine all the way to the feet, providing movement, feeling, and strength to either leg. The sciatic nerve is the largest single nerve in the human body. This nerve can become trapped between a herniated disc and the tight muscle of the lower lumbar region. This is what causes the pain followed by the numbness. Since this nerve runs down the back of the thigh and lower leg it also causes leg pain. It can occur on one side only, or on both sides. Long term compression can lead to nerve damage - better to treat it early!

Causes

Sciatic nerve pain can have a number of causes:Herniated/bulging disc, Piriformis syndrome, Spinal Stenosis, Degenerative disc disease, Arthritis, Spinal trauma (car accident, lifting), Pregnancy, Carrying excess weight.

Symptoms

Besides pain that radiates from the lower back to the calf, distinct symptoms of sciatica include: Tingling sensation, Numbness, Weakness in muscles, Slow reflexes. It is important to note that sciatica is not a medical condition by itself; it is an indication of another underlying issue, a herniated disc, for instance.

Slipped disc pain

Slipped disc, also called ‘spinal disc herniation’, the bones (vertebrae) that form the spine in your back are cushioned by small, spongy discs. When these discs are healthy, they act as shock absorbers for the spine and keep the spine flexible. But when a disc is damaged, it may bulge or break open. You can have a herniated disc in any part of your spine. But most herniated discs affect the lower back (lumbar spine). Some happen in the neck (cervical spine) and, more rarely, in the upper back (thoracic spine).

Symptoms

Sciatica is the most common symptom of a herniated disc in the low back. Other symptoms of herniated discs are numbness, tingling, and weakness in the affected nerves.

Causes

The primary cause of slipped disc is the excessive compression or torsion placed on the spine which is the result of the numerous muscle imbalances throughout the body. In addition two often overlooked yet major factors are dietary imbalances and negative stress and emotions.
