It is difficult to treat sciatica however a new procedure provides relief for this problem with little or no risk.
Sciatica is the irritation of the sciatic nerve. It is also often known as the pain in the legs. It is often caused by herniated disc in the lumbar spine. Discs serves as a cushion in between each vertebrae.
Discs has both inner and outer portions. Inner area is softer in consistency compared to the outer portion because they have higher water content. One the outer fibers become weaker or are damaged the softer material begins to move its way outward because of the positive pressure on the disc itself. As it moves out it begins to create a bulge or whats called a herniated causing the disc to protrude outwards and narrowing the hole where the nerve exits.This can cause pressure and cause inflammation that can eventually irritate the nerve which in turn causes pain, numbness or weakness down the legs.
Sciatica is traditionally treated by medications, injections and surgery which address the disease short term. However if the symptoms continues, the treatments may not provide any relief at all.
Doctors often offer steroid injection to patients with sciatica. This helps alleviate the pain and at the same time reduce inflammation in the surrounding area. However this may cause an increase in blood sugar. Aside from that if the pain comes back, it can even be more painful.
