Common reasons for Sciatica

Common reasons for Sciatica

Sciatica can be quite scary when experienced, often many patients worry that it can lead to a whole host of unwanted complications. Rest assured, it’s not as bad as it looks! As a clinic hosting one of the best chiropractors in Dubai, We’ve dealt with many cases of the condition, with many patients having different root causes of the condition.

What is Sciatica?

Sciatica is a type of lower back pain that is caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back down through the legs. This can cause pain, numbness, tingling and weakness in the lower back, hips, legs and feet.

What can cause Sciatica?

It’s very important to understand the cause of Sciatica.
Yes, you read that right, Sciatica often is a result of tight glutes. When the glutes are tight they can cause an imbalance in the muscles that support the lower back and pelvis which can lead to a misalignment of the pelvis- putting pressure on the sciatic nerve, causing pain, numbness and tingling in the lower back, hips, legs, and feet. Additionally, tight glutes can also cause an over-rotation of the femur (thigh bone) which can lead to increased pressure on the sciatic nerve. Stretching and strengthening exercises can help to alleviate tightness in the glutes and improve muscle balance, which in turn can help to alleviate sciatica symptoms. In addition a deep tissue massage can work wonders. Dr. Farah specializes in this. [https://physiowell.ae/our-experts/dr-farah-haddad/].
A herniated disc is a condition in which the soft inner material of a disc in the spine bulges out and puts pressure on the nearby nerve roots.[https://physiowell.ae/herinated-bulging-slipped-discs/]. The sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back down through the legs, is one of the nerves that can be affected by a herniated disc and can cause the symptoms that we have touched on.
Degenerative disc disease is a condition that occurs when the discs in the spine become worn out and can no longer provide adequate cushioning for the spine, putting pressure on the sciatic nerve.
Lumbar spinal stenosis is a condition that occurs when the spinal canal in the lower back becomes narrowed, and therefore puts pressure on the sciatic nerve.
This is a condition in which one vertebra slips over the one below it, compressing the sciatic nerve.
