Most of us a vague idea of what you have sciatica. If you know something, it may be that sciatica is a kind of pinched nerve in lower back problem that affected the over 40 crowd.

But there is more than the sciatica, and some of it may surprise you.

What is sciatica?

In clinical conditions, sciatica pain, irritation of the sciatic nerve. It is usually caused by one of three things: piriformis syndrome, irritation of the sacroiliac joint orHerniated disc.

Piriformis syndrome occurs when the piriformis irritates (or large muscle groups in the butt) swells and squeezes your sciatic nerve. Piriformis syndrome is literally a "pain in the butt."

Stimulation of the sacral ligaments (called sacroiliac joints) - The cross is a bony wedge that sits at the base of the spine and keep your pelvis far. What is strange that there are no muscles and hold to it - only ribbons - which means that your crossdepends on body balance and adaptation to remain in force. It's easy to see then that if you pushed your hips or pelvis to flip, rotate them to strip and turn, resulting in sharp, agonizing pain in the pelvis, hip and numbness down the leg.

A slipped disc occurs when the outer wall of a disc in his back breaks and allows the pulp of the disc to squeeze out and rake against the largest nerve in the body () of the sciatic nerve. Ouch! Many things can cause the disc toerupt but in most cases, the disc kicks off with a small, slight tear, which would be left alone to heal. But under pressure, that the outer wall (the so-called "fiber ring") is pressed and squeezed until it can no longer hold. The wall breaks!

How sciatica Happens at any age

There is a long list of scenarios and lifestyles, which rotate the kind of torque needed your sacroiliac irritate piriform and broke the wall of a disc. But above allare: leaning to one side, sitting on uneven surfaces, presses with one leg over and over again, and recovering from a knee operation. A 45-year-old man driving an 18-wheeler 10 to 12 hours a day, every day. A thirty-something woman standing in front of a class of fifth graders while he was on one leg, year after year.

It is interesting that we all now know about ergonomics and back strain, you're probably not surprised that truck drivers and teachers during a one Sciaticafairly steady clip. But what about the hip-hop scene? The 16-year-old boys with their oversized pants hung low and cool with deep pockets. The pants have a whole generation of young men who sit on the side tilted up to create their wallets. Day after day, hour after hour, they are tipping the back of orientation and implementation of their sciatic nerve under intense pressure.

The treatment of the symptoms or the cause?

They have a lot of options when it comes to the treatment of sciatica andeach depends on where the symptoms originate. Some choose surgery to correct a herniated disc to select some steroid shots directly into her hip thrust obtained in the piriform to. Others choose anti-inflammatory drugs swelling around her sacroiliac ligaments. But none of these treatments is at the root of the problem.

As previously mentioned, all sciatic nerve problems similar symptoms: pain in the lower back or pelvic area, and numbness in his leg. But the root of all of themis exactly the same - a body out of kilter. And this is the structural integration, the only answer. Structural Integration (SI) was developed to relieve pain and get inside and fix the cause of the problem. I relax systematically with the customer in a 10-session methodology and loosen muscles, ligaments, tendons, etc. Layer-by-layer. With each session and each shift, I move closer to the cause of your pain, until I am able to turn up and gently reach in myofascial adhesions andfibrotic bands. This approach also soothes and relieves muscle spasms in the discs. Then I have the pelvis, back, is to refocus, hips, knees, feet and more, until they are in perfect alignment. Her back, leg and pelvis will be a balance, and you are not in fear of the next time if your sciatica flare to life - because it is not.
