SCIATICA + RECOVERY
HOW MOVEMENT MATTERS CAN HELP At Movement Matter will identify and address the ROOT cause of your sciatica. Sciatica is just a symptom of components of your body not performing the way they are designed to. For example, a previous left ankle injury that was not fully rehabilitated will lead to mobility limitations. When there are mobility limitations at the left ankle you will shift to the right. When you shift to the right your hip and spine become compressed, disrupting the function of the sciatic nerve. If you only treat the site of pain you will never SOLVE your problem. Our 1 on 1, individualized, root cause approach will allow you to get back to a life without limitation!
WHAT CAUSES SCIATICA? In most cases, sciatica occurs when one of the back’s discs are herniated. It can also happen if the spine narrows — an effect called spinal stenosis. As we age, our backs undergo a lot of stress. This stress takes a toll, causing inflammation in several areas. If this inflammation reaches a certain point, it may compress these nerves — resulting in pain. WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF SCIATICA? Sciatica back pain is normally noticed as a pain radiating from the lower back. Often, this pain extends to the buttock, spiraling down the leg and extending to the calf. If you’re suffering from sciatica, you might feel the discomfort anywhere along this nerve pathway. The pain itself can be dull, aching or even sharp. In some cases, the compressed nerve may feel like it burns. In other cases, the compressed nerve may simply issue a sharp jolt of pain. Some people experiencing sciatica may experience leg numbness, tingling or weakness. If sciatica isn’t treated, it can hinder mobility altogether.
