Sciatica Causes and Symptoms

Most of us have felt numbness and tingling sensations from a sleeping foot/leg. This disappears after a few steps on bare ground. This is due to temporary compression of the sciatic nerve. However, the condition can become debilitating if it continues for more than a few weeks.we are provide best physiotherapist treatment in delhi.

Sciatica can be more of a symptom than a disease caused by sciatic nerve compression. The nerve may be compressed at the spine level or along its entire course.

The sciatic nerve, the longest nerve in the body, is the thickest. It is the terminal branch in the lumbosacral complexus.

The ventral root comprises L4, S1, and S3 nerve roots. The nerve can be divided into two parts: the tibial and peroneal.

Ventral divisions of the ventral rami L4, L5, and S1 form the tibial portion.

The ventral rami L4, L5, and S1 form the peroneal portion.

Course

The sciatic nerve is located in the pelvis and passes through the greater Sciatic notch below (or sometimes through the Piriformis Muscle) to reach the gluteal region.

It is located deep below the gluteus maximus. To enter the back of the thigh, it crosses superior, obturator internet, inferior, and quadratus femoris. To enter the lateral side of the thigh, it curves around to the greater trochanter.

It is located in the back of your thigh and lies close to the biceps femoris superficial to the adductor Magnus.

It splits into its terminal branches at the back.

It gives out terminal, articular and muscular branches throughout its life.

Muscular branches

The gluteal area, located at the back of your thigh, is not covered by branches. However, the short head of the biceps is supplied from the peroneal portion.

Branch articular:

The nerve has no branches in the peroneal and gluteal regions. However, it does have a single branch that runs to the hip joint from the back of the tibial portion.

Terminal branches

This nerve is then divided into the common peroneal and tibial nerves.

Management

Sciatica Physiotherapy

The patient is taught preventive and precautionary measures to reduce severe pain episodes. In addition, the patient is taught proper posture, ergonomics and back care. As being inactive can lead to worse outcomes, patients should be inactive.

A physiotherapist’s goal is to reduce pain through manual and therapeutic techniques.

For those who are suitable, chiropractic adjustments may be used.

Dry needling and nerve mobilization are two methods that can help relax the nerve. You can choose to do exercises depending on whether the activities are causing or alleviating the patient’s pain.

To improve spinal stability, the physiotherapist should emphasize Core strengthening.

A rehabilitation program that includes gait training and strengthening the lower limbs is recommended if there is any weakness.

We have seen thousands of patients with sciatica problems. Most of these cases have been treated successfully, and most people can live pain-free lives.
