The causes of Sciatica

The Causes of Sciatica:

The causes of sciatica pain are the sciatic nerve being pinched, irritated or swollen. This nerve runs down the back of the leg causing sharp debilitating pain.

Do you have sciatica symptoms? You have been sitting down and stand up and sharp pain shoots down from your lower back down the back of your leg.

You cough, sneeze or laugh and that hurts too. You go to the doctor and he prescribes pain medication. You have made 10 visits to the chiropractor and you still hurt.

Because of the pain your activities are limited, you may not even be able to work anymore. Nothing seems to help so you look for sciatica home treatment such as exercises and stretches. They don’t help much either.

Your doctor recommends surgery. The prospect terrifies you, but you feel there is no other choice. Unfortunately, the pain returns months after the surgery.

The real causes of sciatica:

Right Leg: You feel pushed or forced to go or do something against your will. Sometimes there may be a sexual conflict involved.

Left Leg: You want to do or accomplish something but somebody or something is stopping you. You are angry or even enraged.

Typical case:

Julie, 26 was suffering from sciatic nerve pain. I asked her if she had any goals that she wasn’t able to accomplish. She said that she signed up to join the Peace Corps and was very eager to go to a third world nation.

Her mother was vehemently objecting, saying that she doesn’t want to loose her daughter. Her mother also feared the political instability of her daughter's destination.

Her father warned her that every man where she was going would be hitting on her.

She postponed her departure and was very upset, torn between staying and leaving.

I worked with her to overcome her conflict with her parent’s objections. I showed her how to do acupuncture for sciatica. In three days she felt much better and in an month left for Honduras.

She returned home several years later, grateful for her experiences and adventures she had while living in a foreign culture.

The sciatica never returned.
