The causes of sciatica disease in 9 steps

Is a painful disease in the nerve called "sciatica" which extends from the fourth and fifth lumbar vertebrae to the heels. Sciatica pain manifests itself in two ways: either a constantly mild pain or a severe pain that occasionally occurs. The pain extends along the sciatic nerve, from hips to heels.

Sciatica pain is sometimes confused with "belly button". The patient is laid down on the back to see that the pain is caused by the sciatic nerve. The leg is lifted up slowly while in tension. The sciatic suspicion becomes definite if there is a screeching pain extending from the back of the thigh to the bicep or even to the foot. The longer the leg is raised, the more severe the pain will be.

Sciatic causes:

There are many different causes of sciatica. We can list the headlines as follows:

  1. Spinal calcification
  2. Tumors of the spine
  3. Disk hernias
  4. Spinal tuberculosis (congenital)
  5. Some birth injuries
  6. Fractures, dislocations and bruises in the lower parts of the spine
  7. Damage to pelvic bones or organs near this area
  8. Injection of gout, diabetes, some nerve irritants into the sciatic nerve
  9. Some internal organ tumors

What to do?

The type of treatment to be performed is determined after the main factor affecting the sciatic nerve has been identified.
In the early stages of treatment, pain medication and bed rest are given.
Hot springs, spa treatments, massages and physical therapy procedures are then applied.
