Get Sciatic Nerve Pain Treatment

herniated disc treatment Provo, Utah

​​The sciatic nerve is the longest and thickest nerve in the body and when irritated can be excruciating

The sciatic nerve is formed by a group of nerves than exit the spine and join together. These nerves can become irritated from disc problems in the spine, or from a tight piriformis muscle.

Whether from an injury or after years of strain, the discs in the spine can weaken and begin to bulge or herniate or they can actually rupture. Bulging and rupturing of the disc can put pressure on the nerve. Chemical changes (think inflammation) also occur causing nerve irritation.

Signs of sciatic nerve irritation:
  • Pain that travels down the leg. True sciatic pain usually goes below the knee  
 
  • numbness or tingling in the affected leg
 
  • weakness of leg muscles in the leg 
 
  • pain with sitting more than standing and pain with bending over.

An interesting point to note is that while we may see disc herniations on MRI that seem to correspond with the pain you are having, MRI's taken of people who do not have pain will often show the same types of disc herniation. Many experts consider these changes to be a part of normal aging of the spine, some experience significant pain while others do not. But there is hope! If so many people can live their lives free of pain with the same disc herniation that you have, than so can you!
​
