What is Sciatica?

Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve, the longest nerve in the body, is compressed or irritated. This nerve runs from the lower back, through the hips and buttocks, and down each leg. Common symptoms include:

• Sharp, shooting pain: Often felt in the lower back, buttocks, or down the leg.
• Tingling or numbness: A sensation that follows the nerve pathway.
• Weakness: Difficulty standing, walking, or lifting the affected leg.
• Pain that worsens with certain activities: Prolonged sitting, standing, or bending can intensify the discomfort.

The most common causes of sciatica are:

• Herniated or bulging discs: When discs press on the sciatic nerve.
• Spinal stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal, creating nerve compression.
• Degenerative disc disease: Wear and tear on spinal discs that affect nerve function.

 

How Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) Works

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive therapy that provides fast relief by addressing the root cause of sciatica. Using advanced technology like the DRX 9000 machine, this treatment gently stretches the spine to:

• Relieve nerve compression: Reduces pressure on the sciatic nerve caused by herniated or bulging discs.
• Allow discs to heal: Negative pressure encourages herniated or bulging discs to retract.
• Promote natural healing: Improved blood flow and nutrient delivery repair damaged tissues.
• Minimize inflammation: Pain and swelling are reduced, enhancing mobility.

This treatment is pain-free, non-invasive, and requires no downtime, making it a preferred option for sciatica sufferers. Many patients experience significant relief within just a few sessions.

 

Self-Help Tips for Sciatica Relief at Home

While professional care is essential for long-term recovery, there are several things you can do at home to manage sciatica pain:

1. Stretching Exercises:
   • Perform gentle stretches targeting the hamstrings, lower back, and hips. Poses like the seated forward bend or pigeon stretch can help release tension in the sciatic nerve.
2. Ice and Heat Therapy:
   • Apply an ice pack to the lower back for 15-20 minutes to reduce inflammation. After 48 hours, alternate with heat to relax muscles and improve blood flow.
3. Maintain Proper Posture:
   • Avoid sitting for long periods and use ergonomic chairs with lumbar support. When standing, keep your weight evenly distributed.
4. Stay Active:
   • Low-impact activities like walking, swimming, or yoga can help improve circulation and reduce stiffness.
5. Use a Foam Roller:
   • Gently roll out the lower back, buttocks, and thighs to release tight muscles and relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve.
6. Sleep with Proper Support:
   • Use a pillow under your knees when lying on your back or between your knees when lying on your side to maintain spinal alignment.

These tips can provide temporary relief, but for long-lasting results, addressing the underlying cause of sciatica is critical.
