Have you ever felt a sharp, burning, or electric-like pain shooting down your lower back to your leg? Maybe, for example, it happens when you stand up from the sofa or have difficulty walking. One moment you’re fine; the next moment, your leg feels like it’s on fire — or just numb and tingling.
If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. That pain has a name, and it is called Sciatica.
You can get sciatica treatment from a chiropractor in Kingston upon Thames by an osteomyologist as well as from experienced back pain specialists.
The Sciatic Nerve
In our body, we have the largest nerve, which is the size of the pinky of our hand, called the sciatic nerve, that comes out of your lumbar spine in multiple segments to form that thick, long nerve on both sides of your spine, which travels all the way down to your leg, foot, and big toes.
Sometimes, through years of repetitive stress, poor posture, and trauma, we can get a disc bulge or a disc herniation; either one can irritate the sciatic nerve and can cause a burning pain, sharp pain, tingling, or numbness from the lumbar spine down to your foot. It can also create muscle weakness and keep you up at night from the excruciating pain.
When this happens, it is best to seek chiropractic and osteomyology for treatment immediately to help calm your pain and symptoms and help you walk again freely.
Why Does It Hurt?
Sometimes it can start with a dull ache in your spine that progressively gets worse, or you bend down to pick up something as light as a pencil and the pain starts.
Initially, some people take over-the-counter painkillers, put heat on their back, even exercise, hoping the pain will go away, but it only gets worse. At this point, they can sit or stand for too long, walking is difficult, and trying to sleep at night is a nightmare.
We often get these people who are in this extreme and get them successfully out of pain.
