Sciatica

Sciatica pain is a specific type of discomfort that originates in the sciatic nerve, running from the lower back down the back of each leg. Sciatica pain is often characterized by a sharp, shooting sensation that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, typically affecting one side of the body. 

Spinal disc issues play a crucial role in the development of sciatica by directly impacting the sciatic nerve. When a disc herniates, its inner gel-like material protrudes outward and can impinge on the nerve roots that make up the sciatic nerve. Similarly, a bulging disc may press against the nerve, causing similar symptoms. The compression of the sciatic nerve by these disc issues can lead to both acute and chronic sciatica pain.

Symptoms

Sciatica usually shows up as pain, numbness, or tingling in one or both legs. Here are some key points about it:

  • Pain from your lower back to your buttock, thigh, or calf.
  • The pain can range from a dull ache to a sharp, burning feeling.
  • Sometimes it feels like a sudden jolt or electric shock.
  • Certain activities like coughing, sneezing, or sitting for a long time can make the pain worse.
  • You might also experience numbness, tingling, or weakness in your leg or foot.
    The pain might come and go.
 

Most of the time, these issues start in the lower back because that area deals with a lot of stress from everyday movements like lifting and sitting.

In other cases of sciatic pain, more severe symptoms might require immediate surgical care, might be indicated, such as the following:

  • Cauda Equina, which causes a loss of bowel or bladder control
  • Sudden, severe pain in the lower back or leg and numbness or progressive muscle weakness in the leg
  • Sciatica is pain that develops after a traumatic injury

A Common Root Cause of Sciatica

Most adults over the age of 18 have developed annular tears, or will develop annular tears. These tears develop in almost everyone because they’re a natural part of our aging process. Many people with annular tears never feel any symptoms or pain. However, many other people will experience severe and debilitating pain as a result of these tears.  They often lead to many other conditions including sciatica.

If someone receives treatment that does not address the leaky disc, the inflammation of the nerve caused by the leak may persist after the treatment and the pain may not be relieved. 

 There is an intervention option that is designed to address annular tears and is known to provide long-lasting pain relief: the Discseel Procedure.

 The Discseel Procedure is a non-surgical, minimally invasive spine procedure that uses an orthobiologic injection to seal annular tears and relieve back and neck pain. This is the only procedure that has been designed to address annular tears and stop the leaking of the nucleus pulposus.

If you suffer from Sciatica, the Discseel Procedure may be able to help you.  Contact us for a no-obligation consultation to find out if you’re a candidate for this revolutionary procedure!
