Sciatica is difficult to treat but recently a new treatment has been proven to be effective 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.
The inner portion of the disc has a much higher water content then the outer portion and as is much softer in consistency. 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. The narrowing can cause direct pressure on the nerve itself or create inflammation that can then irritate the nerve creating symptoms of pain, numbness or weakness down the leg.
Most of the traditional treatments offer only short term relief. Treatments such as pain medications, injections and surgery. However, these procedures doesn't offer long term relief. If the problem persists, these procedure will no longer be effective.
One of the most common treatment applied to sciatica is steroid injection. This helps to reduce the inflammation. This can definitely bring temporary relief however it has a side effect. Pain may come back even worse. It can also trigger an increase in blood sugar.
Doctors at times suggest surgery as a treatment for patients with sciatica. Surgery offers short term relief however it poses a lot of risks. Failed back surgery can cause side effects such as excessive scar tissue formation spinal instability after surgery and increased stress on other spinal structures.
Spinal decompression is a new procedure that is very effective in relieving symptoms of sciatica. This treatment doesnt have any risks or side effects Spinal decompression gently and logarithmic pull of the spine safely bypassing the guarding reflex muscle contraction associated with traditional traction. This procedure allows a therapeutic negative pressure to develop inside the disc space that helps to heal the disc and reduce inflammation or the bulge. This procedure has 80% success rate.
Spinal decompression corrects the problem of sciatica patients for a long time. It helps alleviate the pain for a long period of time. As the research continues, more and more benefits of spinal decompression continues to arise. - 15683
