The lumbar-sacral portion of the body that is weak or injured can lead to back pain, neck pain, headache and fatigue. These problems can lead to further problems for the individual in their daily life and activities. The right device is needed to support this very special portion of the body, so as to assist the body to keep itself healthy.

One form of chronic back pain is chronic sciatic nerve pain or sciatica, as it’s commonly called. This type of pain is fairly common, in the population today. Thousands of people suffer from this most common pain. This type of pain is characterized by pain in the lower back, buttock or even into the lower leg. Mostly this pain is experienced on one side of the body or the other.

This type of pain is mostly caused from a spinal disk herniation. This type of injury is mostly caused by lifting heavy objects without using the proper body mechanics in lifting, there by putting unusual strain on the lower back. Thereby causing a herniation or displacement of your spinal disc. This causes pressure on the nerve closest to the herniation. Depending on where the herniation is will give pain for the nerve that is closest to the protruding disc. This causes pain in the lower back or it can radiate down one leg or the other giving the individual the most painful back .

There are also different types of syndromes or tumors that can cause the same type of pain for an individual. These also cause pressure on the sciatic nerve, thereby causing sciatica. These types of back pain problems need to be supervised by a physician. A person needs to be careful in getting the proper diagnosis before starting any type of treatment for your back pain. Having a physician prescribe a medically sound type of treatment is needed before you start trying to relieve your back pain problems.

There are different ways to treat this type of pain for sciatica. The most common way to get relief from sciatica is to take a regiment of anti-inflammatory medications prescribed by a physician. Physio is also implemented in the treatment of sciatica so as to strengthen the muscles of the back thereby helping to relieve the pressure on the disc. Then there is the surgical way to help relieve the pain by fusing the disc permanently.

But this last way of treatment is only for the most severe cases. Not all problems with sciatica need surgical intervention. If your sciatica pain is of the most serious kind and surgery is indicated, you may need a back brace following surgery to give added support to your back. Doc Ortho has just the brace you need.

The pain is all to real, and all to constant. Sometimes it feels like it never ends, like there is no way to find any relief.

It really is all a fight. You fight the pain, you fight going to work when you feel horrible, you fight to live like you are pain free when every step is really a struggle.

Even more frustrating is the fight to end your pain. If you are like most people, you have gone through pills therapies, and exercises. And this is just the tip of the sciatic iceberg.

Who knew finding sciatica cures could be this hard?

When the pills and the therapies don’t work, you will eventually find yourself staring in the face of more ‘invasive’ options. And with those options come some tough choices. The choice to live with the pain that you know, or the choice to go through new pain that you do not know with the good chance that you will find yourself pain free at the end of it all.

Logically it should be an easy choice. It your friend was in this predicament, you would tell them to suck it up and go through the surgery or the injections. You would tell them to think about their pain free life and how great it will be.

But the reality of sciatica cures is much different than this.

In reality, it is not your friend who would be going through this, it is you.

In reality, the choice to have injections or surgery is one that you cannot take back.

In reality, these procedures work less than half of the time.

In reality, even when these procedures are ’successful’, the pain usually returns. More often than not, injections only help for a few weeks and surgery only helps for a few months, (maybe a few years if you are super lucky).

In reality, there is a very real chance that you will find yourself staring in the face of more injections or surgery to ‘keep the pain away’.

It is a lot to think about. And it is why it is so important to try to cure sciatica naturally before trying invasive procedures that you may not fully recover from.

Question:

I’m writing on behalf of my father, who is 62 and crippled with pain from sciatica. He has tried massage, acupuncture and painkillers but has been housebound for the past four weeks, mostly lying on the floor and unable to walk. The doctor has said that he has to ride it out, but is referring him to a specialist. I’m really worried; he is slightly overweight and usually plays a lot of golf – could either or both of these be contributing factors?

Answer:

This very common and debilitating condition is a type of referred pain, which originates in the lower back or gluteal (buttock) region but is felt on the side of the leg, sometimes reaching as far as the little toes. It’s called sciatica because it affects the thick, cord-like sciatic nerve, which starts under sheaths of gluteal muscles and goes right down the outside of each leg.

The pain usually gets worse while walking or standing and is better lying down. Sometimes, however, it’s worst when sitting down, as more direct pressure is applied to the top of the sciatic nerve.

There are many causes of this type of pain. The most common is compression of the nerve in one of the lower lumbar discs in your spine. This could be because a person puts on a lot of weight, carries heavy loads, has bad posture, does no exercise and/or has a lot of stress, all of which cause the spinal muscles to go into spasm. Another possibility is that one or more vertebrae twist due to a sudden or frequent sideways movement – as with manual work or sports such as tennis, squash or golf (so your suspicion that this could be a contributing factor is correct). Very often this sideways twist occurs as a compensation for groin strain, due to accidents or falls, abdominal exercises such as sit-ups and even martial arts. The body leans forward or twists sideways to avoid the groin pain, putting pressure on a lumbar disc, which bulges and presses down on the nerve.

In people over 60, calcium deposits called osteophytes may grow into the spinal canal where they can scratch or irritate the specific nerve roots that converge to form the sciatic nerve. Muscular spasm or strain in the gluteal region – as caused by golf – can Press on the sciatic nerve and send the pain shooting down the outside leg.

Sciatica may be linked to diabetes, where one complication is that sugar crystals can block the tiny blood vessels which supply large nerves. This reduced blood supply can result in the nerve becoming inflamed and, as a result, provoke sensations of  pain, numbness and tingling.

Sciatic pain is particularly distressing because the nerve may take a long time to heal, so the condition is often chronic. Just as your father has done, people try any and every sort of treatment. Over the past 20 years, I have had thousands of patients with similar problems and this led to my writing The Ultimate back Book, which relates my studies in this area of medicine. I think you will find answers to many of your questions in it. Meanwhile, I have the following advice for your father and other sufferers:

Firstly, lose any excess weight to help relieve pressure on the disc/s. Excess production of stomach acid is the main  stimulator of appetite so you need to cut out everything that causes this, including citrus and sour fruits, nuts, chillies, vinegar and canned sauces.
Avoid alcohol, because it stimulates appetite and helps absorption of fat, besides being highly calorific.
Also avoid sugar.
To stop carvings for food, and sugar in particular, massage the neck so that the appetite centre in the brain gets more blood and therefore more glucose, and ceases to crave sugar.( l discovered this amazing mechanism quite accidentally). You will find more detailed information in my weight loss DVD (Integrated Health Group), and my book Dr Ali’s Weight loss plan.
Take gentle exercise: aim for 30 minutes of walking or swimming five days a week Therapeutic iyengar yoga is very beneficial. Find a qualified teacher locally. You will find details in my book Therapeutic Yoga, co-written with Jiwan Brar and also on my Weight loss DVD, as above.
