How Severe the Sciatica Pain Could Be It was five years back when I came in contact with the dreaded Sciatica. No, it didn’t attack me! There was someone who was almost howling from the pain. The place was the physiotherapy center of my workplace. It is a hub of technology, offering an array of degree and diploma courses in Engineering. A place where I spend a major part of my life. This physiotherapy center, I believe, was the oldest but the most resourceful and sought-after in the city. Ok…I drifted from the topic. So, here I had my first introduction to sciatica pain. (And I had to visit the center because of my spondylitis…well, another story…if interested, find here). She must be in her late fifty. I heard her voice- a cold, hissing cry. Perhaps stung by bees or worse…a scorpion. The conclusion came from my spinning head as the body surrendered on a traction bench. I was already in fear of my own “worsening neck pain and vertigo”. So as soon as, the physiotherapist, came into my range I quickly inquired. This is how I learned about sciatica pain. He told me that her …nerves are pinched by…! Just a part I could understand what he said. But I could correlate with my own spondylitis where my …nerve was pinched by… She was taken to the room where the therapist helps the patients with various stretches and yoga poses. In the meantime, I almost slept on the traction bench. After a while when I woke up, the center was filled with a calmness, which often pervades after a storm. I saw her sitting on a chair, a bit tired but relaxed. She was 95% out of pain now. Yoga Poses for Maximum Benefits in Sciatic Pain The next day I decided to be present when she was through her “physiotherapy session”. The efforts of physiotherapist was worth appreciating. His job is really a tough one. Just imagine- with each visiting patient, he is doing various yoga stretches and movements. After each session, he can be seen sweating profoundly. Most of the movements and stretches were involving hip flexure. That says hip opener yoga poses viz. Pigeon Pose, Bridge Pose, and Half Fish Pose will be the most blessing for a sciatic patient. By this time you must have understood that-“I am neither a doctor nor a nurse” (Disclosure). Whatever I share here, is from my own life experiences. I didn’t read human anatomy though. I was rather more interested in the anatomy of an electron. But, the circumstances taught me what teachers and professors couldn’t. Human Anatomy- Bitter Facts Human anatomy is the most complicated one. Not in terms of understanding, but from its own structure. Creator had to really work hard in creating a human body that comprises a brain superior to other species on the planet! In order to maintain Homosapiens’ ( Scientific term for humans) sanity, God provided him with numerous nerves, censors, muscles, and bones which when used sparingly, started crossing, disturbing, and pinching each other. Have you ever heard of any dog, horse, camel, or elephant… having spondylitis or sciatica? Some animals are too bulky to do their Pilates, Stretches, and Yoga. Why on the earth, none of their nerves is pinched by some other muscle or bones? I am going to ask my “vet sister”. Certainly, almighty knows and understands woos of those unspoken creatures. They can’t see a doctor and tell about their ailment when in their natural habitat. My goodness, again changing my course. Got it! It’s happening to me. It can happen to anyone. Drifting from its course or place may occur. The sciatic nerve is not an exception. Which causes Sciatica Pain. What Is Sciatica- The sciatic nerve @longest in your body! There are two sciatic nerves—one for each leg. These are the longest nerves in the human body. Each originates from several nerve roots that exit from the spinal cord, then thread through apertures in your sacrum and merge to form the main body of the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve passes between layers of the deep buttock muscles (gluteus medius and gluteus maximus), through the deep muscles of the back of the thigh, and down through the outer edge of your leg to your foot. The same is also, responsible for controlling muscular movements in the thigh and leg. Which is also sending, sensory input to your brain. Oh poor! One nerve and so many responsibilities. Naturally, when this gets irritated and inflamed, results in sciatica pain. Sciatica-Major cause of back pain Sciatica is a major cause of low back pain and leg pain. There are two possible reasons for the condition- Pressure on the sciatic nerve from a *herniated disc. In case you are experiencing pain in your mid-lower back, painful electric shocks down your sciatic nerve, and/or tingling, burning, weakness, or numbness in your legs or feet. These can be signs that an acute herniated disk is pinching the nerve, which is a bigger problem than sciatic pain alone. *Herniated Disk- This condition occurs when the soft center of a spinal disc pushes through a crack in the tougher exterior casing.
