REVEALED: THE 3 COMMON CAUSES OF BACK PAIN AND SCIATICA
Dear Loyal Client, Back pain and sciatica can be one of the most frustrating problems to deal with, leading to pain killers, expensive MRIs, multiple injections, and even surgery. What’s worse is that many times these costly procedures do not lead to being pain free or even less pain or relief, leading to frustration— feeling like life is passing you by—and depression. But from the experience of helping 100’s of back pain and sciatica sufferers heal naturally without pain medications, injections or surgery, I can share that in every case the person got back to normal because we addressed the CAUSE of their back pain and sciatica. Do you know someone suffering from back pain or sciatica? I’m guessing you do... • If you ever been to the grocery store and have seen someone leaning on the cart because they can’t walk without the cart then that person likely is suffering from back pain and sciatica. • If you have a friend who needs to “sit for a minute” after walking or standing for a short while then that person likely is suffering with back pain and sciatica. • Have you ever seen someone change the way they get in and out of a car or the way they bend over to pick up something or the way they walk? If so then that person may be suffering from back pain and sciatica. • And from the experience of helping people with back pain and sciatica, I can tell you most people can heal naturally — saving time and money — if they first find out the CAUSE of their back pain and sciatica.

So What Causes Back Pain and Sciatica? From my experience, these are the 3 most common causes we see at Avenues Therapy Clinic: Cause #1: Stenosis, Arthritis, or Degenerative Disc Disease Pain with standing and walking? Less pain when you sit down? 50 or more candles on your next birthday cake? If you answered YES to these 3 questions, then there’s a 99% chance the cause of your back pain or sciatica is stenosis, arthritis, or Degenerative Disc Disease. Sufferers with this cause may also have lower back stiffness when they first get out of bed in the morning and may need to “move around” for 15 minutes, or get a hot shower before they loosen up. They usually have trouble being on their feet for long times and need to “sit down for a minute” to get relief. This is the person who needs to lean forward on the grocery cart to make it through the store. Cause #2: Herniated Discs or Slipped Discs or Pinched Nerves Sufferers with Herniated Discs usually are younger...35 years of age or younger... and have sharp pain down the back of their leg when they bend forward or lift. As a general rule, the further down their leg they have pain, numbness or tingling... the more pressure they’re putting on their nerve. Pain bending forward ... and usually relief bending backwards or standing. Cause #3: Pelvic or SI Joint Problems This is the most commonly missed cause of back pain and sciatica because it does not show up easily on an X-ray or MRI. SI joint sufferers usually have pain with changing positions such as getting in and out of a car... or rolling over in bed... or getting in and out of bed. Sitting or driving is usually a problem and one leg can feel “heavier” than the other. Sufferers with this cause can even experience groin pain and trouble controlling their bladder (even at a young age). Why Knowing the Cause of Your Back Pain or Sciatica is Important... When you know the CAUSE of your back pain and sciatica, then it’s much easier to do the right treatment to get back to normal and heal naturally. At Avenues Therapy Clinic, we specialize in helping people find out the exact CAUSE of their back pain and sciatica (this can be tricky because some back pain and sciatica sufferers have more than one CAUSE). To schedule an appointment with one of our back pain and sciatica specialists, and find out the exact cause of your back pain and sciatica, call us at 307-634-0298. Hope this helps you, Kelsey Kean, PT, MPT
