Sciatica Relief In South Tulsa

DO YOU SUFFER FROM SCIATICA?

​

Just a few pounds of pressure in the wrong spot in your lower back and you instantly experience a barrage of symptoms. The fatigue, chronic pain, and numbness of sciatica can make the normal challenges of daily life suddenly too much to handle. Sciatica is a common nerve issue that can flare up when you least expect it. Learn about the symptoms and causes of sciatica and the treatment options available to free yourself from the burden of hip and leg pain.

​

Sciatica stems from an injury or strain which causes pressure on the sciatic nerve. This nerve usually becomes irritated by spinal compression somewhere in the lower back. While many people mistakenly assume that this term refers to general pain in that area, there are a range of specific symptoms that can help you know if your pain is from sciatic pressure.

​

SCIATICA SYMPTOMS

 

If you are dealing with irritation or pain in the back alone, you may or may not have sciatica. Since the sciatic nerve is one of the longest nerves in the body, it can affect many different areas. Call Dr. Travis immediately if you experience symptoms like:

 

• Leg pain that is worse when seated

• Lasting pain in the rear or hips

• Restriction in movement or reduced flexibility

• Stabbing sensations that make standing difficult

• Irritation that extends from the hip to the foot

• Weakness in the legs

• Symptoms on one side of the body or the other

​

CAUSES OF SCIATICA

​

Nearly all cases of sciatica involve compression of the nerve as it passes through the lower spine or the hip. Narrowing of the openings in this area can seriously affect your legs. A sampling of the causes of sciatica include:

 

• Spinal stenosis – a conditional that narrows the spinal canal

• Misalignment – when one vertebra in the back slips over another, the sciatic nerve could be at risk

• Bulging disc—when the gel-like pad between the vertebrae puts pressure on the sciatic nerve

• Herniated disc—when the bulge worsens to the point of a tear in the disc

• Bone spurs—rough edges on the vertebra
