If You Have These Factors Then You Can Suffer From Sciatica

 


The Sciatic nerve is the longest nerve in our body that originates at the hip or specifically in the buttock area and goes down each foot. The injury to the sciatic nerve is known as Sciatica. It is a painful condition that causes several complications. Generally, most pain conditions that start at your hip and go down to your feet involve the sciatic nerve. Several sciatica patients visit the Canada-based Elevation Health clinic to see Dr Brian Nantais of the Nantais Family Chiropractic.

 

Dr Brian Nantais, along with his team, helps provide relief to the symptoms of Sciatica with his Chiropractic expertise. The general symptoms of Sciatica are:-

 

     Pain, inflammation, and compression sensation in the hip and lower back

     Weakness in the legs and feet

     Numbness in the legs and the feet of the patient

     Needle pierce-like feeling in the legs, feet, and toes

     Loss of mobility and balance

 

The Nantais Family Chiropractic team has been handling and curing such symptoms for years. The Chiropractic Treatment they provide has proven to be fruitful in most cases. They ensure a safe treatment with no side effects, incision, or use of any medicinal drugs.

 

There are some things that make you more prone to suffer from Sciatica; check them out: 

     Age

     An injury in the past

     Occupation

     Health Conditions

     Harmful Habits

 

Age: 

As you age, due to the wear and tear of years, your body suffers damage. The bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments all weaken, including your nervous system. There are also chances of bone spurs and misalignments of your bones, disks, and spine due to aging; this can create pressure on the nerves adjacent to your spine and cause painful discomfort.

 

An injury in the past: 

If you ever suffered an injury of the spine or lower back in the past, then you can suffer from Sciatica in the future.

 

Occupation: 

In case your work life involves lots of lifting or similar physical work that uses the strength of the back, then you are prone to back injuries which can raise the chances of Sciatica. A sedentary work life on a chair can also cause lower back problems.

 

Health Conditions: 

There are several health conditions that can cause back problems and, eventually Sciatica. The conditions are:

Diabetes: 

Diabetes results in damage to your nervous system, which can cause Sciatica as it is also a nervous system disorder. 

Osteoarthritis: 

This condition weakens the spine and thus leaves your nerves exposed to injuries. 

Obesity:

 Being overweight creates lots of pressure on your spine and the nearby nerves. This can also strain your back muscles and lead to chronic back problems. 

Harmful Habits: 

Smoking habits can cause Sciatica. This is because the nicotine in tobacco speeds up the aging of the bones, therefore, weakening them and the spinal discs. The muscles and tendons will also suffer accordingly. 

Closing Words 

You can get relief from Sciatica pain symptoms by getting chiropractic help from Dr Brian Nantais of the Nantais Chiropractic Family at Elevation Health in Canada.
