Sciatic Pain and symtoms
Sciatic pain is often caused by a herniated disc or underlying back issue from compression of the sciatic nerve. A diagnosis from your Doctor or Physician would be the best advice. Some of the symptoms are numbness and tingling, a burning sensation on one side of your buttock that goes from low back to knee, weakness and a sharp pain when standing or trying to walk, and pain in the lower lumbar back.
What can be done for Sciatia Pain?
While there is no quick overnight fix there are things that can be done to alleviate the symtoms of the pain and I have had successful treatment of sciatic issues at my office www.alwmassage.com Some of the options available to you are:
-
Chiropratic www.carterfamilychiropractic getting an adjustment done will help open up the spine so healing can take place.
-
Massage Therapy by a Certified Medical Massage Therapist www.alwmassage.com will also help relax the piriformis muscle
-
Stretching will also help open release the piriformis muscle that often causes the impingment of the sciatic nerve. Here is a good link that will show some stretching excercises http://www.spine-health.com/wellness/exercise/sciatica-exercises-sciatica-pain-relief
