Sciatica Pain? Do These Stretches And Relieve The Pain
Sciatica –ciatalgia or pain in the sciatica– is a common discomfort that appears as a result of irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, which starts from the lower back and reaches the leg. To relieve sciatica pain, we propose a series of very effective exercises and stretches that you can easily do at home.
Symptoms of sciatica pain
Sciatica manifests with pain in the leg and resembles a cramp. The pain can be intense, such as a strong pinch in the buttock area that usually radiates down the leg and even down to the foot.
It can be limiting to standing or sitting, and can sometimes be accompanied by strange sensations such as tingling or muscle weakness in the leg.
One of the most common causes of sciatica pain is compression of the sciatic nerve roots in the lower back. Compression can occur from a herniated disc, degeneration of the spine, or local inflammation.
In any case, very often the cause can be irritation of the nerve at some point along the route in the pelvic area, as is the case with pyramidal syndrome.
If, in addition to sciatic pain, you have symptoms such as incontinence (fecal or urinary) and a sensation of anesthesia in the pelvic area, seek medical help immediately.
