| - | Sciatica is not a certain disease, rather it is a condition characteristic of several different ailments. Just place, it is a mild to intense pain in the left or correct leg. Sciatica is brought on by a compression of 1 or far more of the 5 sets of nerve roots in the reduce back. These compressions are usually brought on by a disc rupture or bone spur in the lumbar spine. It causes discomfort, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the arms or legs. This is referred to as radiculopathy. If the nerve root causing the difficulty is in the neck it is referred to as cervical radiculopathy. Sciatica is known as a lumbar radiculopathy given that it happens in the lower back.

| | | | |
| - | There are six typical causes of Sciatica.
| |
| - |
| |
| - | Spondylolisthesis
| |
| - |
| |
| - | Spondylolisthesis is usually discovered at birth, early childhood or acquired from physical trauma such as weightlifting. It is a disorder that most frequently affects the lumbar spine. Spondylolisthesis is characterized by one vertebra slipping forward more than an adjacent vertebra. Typically sciatic leg pain is caused when a nerve root compresses due to the vertebra being displaced and slipping.
| |
| - |
| |
| - | Piriformis Syndrome
| |
| - |
| |
| - | Due to the lack of MRI or x-ray findings, it may be hard to diagnose and treat piriformis syndrome. The piriformis muscle connects to the thighbone, assists in hip rotation and is positioned in the reduce portion of the spine. When muscle spasms create in the piriformis muscle thereby compressing the sciatic nerve, Piriformis syndrome develops. The sciatic nerve runs beneath the piriformis muscle. Piriformis syndrome is named for the piriformis muscle and the pain triggered when the muscle irritates the sciatic nerve.

| - | Lumbar Bulging or Herniated Disc
| |
| - |
| |
| - | When the nucleus breaks by means of the annulus a herniated disc occurs. It is called a 'non-contained' disc disorder. A bulging disc is also recognized as a contained disc disorder. This implies the nucleus pulposus (gel-like center) remains 'contained' within the annulus fibrosus (tire-like outer wall) of the disc. Since a herniated disc is a non-contained disc disorder, the consequences of a herniated disc are worse. Regardless of whether a disc or herniates or bulges, disc material can press against an adjacent nerve root and compress delicate nerve tissue and result in sciatica. Irritation and nerve compression cause pain and inflammation often major to extremity tingling, muscle weakness and numbness. The disc material itself also includes an acidic, chemical irritant (hyaluronic acid) that causes nerve inflammation. The herniated nucleus causes direct compression of the nerve root against the interior of the bony spinal canal.

| |
| - | Lumbar Spinal Stenosis
| |
| - |
| |
| - | The condition of spinal stenosis final results in the spinal canal narrowing. The narrowing causes stress on the spinal cord and spinal nerves. Typical in patients over the age of 50 and with causes that are not clear, spinal stenosis has two different varieties often described. A common complaint of spinal stenosis sufferers is leg pain which gets worse with walking. An additional complaint is back discomfort. Sitting and bending can occasionally alleviate these pains.
| |
| - |
| |
| - | There is 1 variety of spinal stenosis that exists exactly where individuals are born with a narrow spinal canal. In folks that have this situation even minor structural alterations to the spine can trigger extreme spinal stenosis.
| |
| - |
| |
| - | Spinal stenosis associated to age is the far more frequently acquired type. This form of the stenosis situation may possibly cause numerous spinal components to sag or bulge from arthritis. Discs, joints, and ligaments can be impacted. These changes, which happen with age, can have the effect of narrowing the spinal canal and therefore trigger spinal stenosis pain.
| |
| - |
| |
| - | Spinal Tumors
| |
| - |
| |
| - | Spinal tumors can be benign or malignant, but are relatively rare. They result in sciatica due to stress on the disc.
| |
| - |
| |
| - | Trauma
| |
| - |
| |
| - | Yet another trigger of sciatica is trauma caused by accidents. The impact might injure nerves or cause fragments of bone to compress the nerves (lumbar or sacral spinal nerve roots)

Simply put, it is a mild to intense discomfort in the left or appropriate leg. Sciatica is caused by a compression of one particular or more of the 5 sets of nerve roots in the reduced back. These compressions are usually triggered by a disc rupture or bone spur in the lumbar spine. It causes discomfort, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the arms or legs. This is referred to as radiculopathy. If the nerve root causing the dilemma is in the neck it is known as cervical radiculopathy.

The piriformis muscle connects to the thighbone, assists in hip rotation and is positioned in the reduce element of the spine. When muscle spasms create in the piriformis muscle thereby compressing the sciatic nerve, Piriformis syndrome develops. The sciatic nerve runs beneath the piriformis muscle. Piriformis syndrome is named for the piriformis muscle and the pain triggered when the muscle irritates the sciatic nerve.
