What is Sciatica?

Picture
The Sciatic nerve is the longest single nerve in the body largely responsible for connecting the spinal cord to the hips, legs, and feet. The Sciatic nerve runs from the lower spine through the buttock, hips, legs and feet. The beginning of the sciatic nerve is embedded within the base of the spine - if injury or damage occurs within the lower back / lumbar spine affecting the sciatic nerve the pain is referred to Sciatica.

Sciatica refers to any pain related to the Sciatic nerve, this can be caused by a herniated disk, a bone spur, a pinched nerve, or narrowing of the spine applying pressure to the Sciatic nerve. Sciatica can range from a dull ache to an intense shooting pain from the lower back throughout the hips and down the legs. Due to Sciatica generally affecting the thicker areas of the body like the buttock treatments like ice and massage may not be effective which is why ultrasound may be the most effective treatment for Sciatica.  

Symptoms of Sciatica

Picture
Location
Sciatica can affect anywhere along the sciatic nerve tract with the most common pain generally affecting the buttock and legs. In most cases sciatica only affects one side of the body.
Pain
Sciatica pain can present in a variety of ways and severities depending on the injury. Pain can range from a dull ache but is more commonly a sharp or searing pain that may also present as a pins and needles sensation, numbness, or weakness in the legs. 
Symptom causes
​Symptoms can intensify in relation to certain movements or positions for example when sitting or standing opposed to lying down can cause the symptoms of Sciatica to be more intense. Actions such as sneezing, coughing, or rotating may also intensify pain. 

What Causes Sciatica?

There are a number of conditions that cause pressure on the Sciatic nerve and the pain associated with Sciatica. These include:
  • Herniated disks of the lumbar spine (lower back) are the most common cause of Sciatica pain. These discs are pads of cartilage that sit between the vertebrae of the spine and act as shock absorbers that cushion the vertebrae and provide flexibility. When these discs wear down they can't provide the cushioning needed. Sometimes, the discs will press on a nerve root, causing pain in the legs and/or back, as well as weakness, numbness or tingling of the foot, leg and buttocks.
  • Spondylolisthesis is often the result of a degenerative disc disease and occurs when one vertebrae slides forward over another vertebrae causing the displaced vertebrae to pinch the sciatic nerve where it exits the spine which causes the pain associated with this form of Sciatica.
  • Lumbar spinal stenosis is caused when areas of the spinal channel (the protective sheath of the spinal cord within vertebrae) narrow within the vertebrae and this puts pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots causing pain.
  • Piriformis syndrome occurs when the piriformis muscle (which connects the thighbone to the lower spine) becomes tight or spasms, putting increased pressure on the Sciatic nerve. The pain from this may be felt from the lower back down to the knees.
  • Trauma and injuries caused by car accidents, falls or other events can injure the lumbar and sacral nerves in the lower back and cause Sciatic pain.

Treatment

Home treatment.
  • Cold packs : Using cold packs for about 20 minutes several times a day can ease the inflammation placed on the painful area. 
  • Hot packs : Using a hot pack or a heating pad may help to reduce pain. If not try alternating hot and cold.
  • Stretching : Stretches that don't twist or jerk can provide necessary relief and can help to relieve some nerve root compression.
  • Over the counter medication - i.e. ibuprofen 
  • Home ultrasound treatment : Home ultrasound like Sonic Relief can be incredibly beneficial for sciatica pain. Sonic Relief operates at 1MHz reaching about 4" into tissue which is perfect for deep tissue pain such as sciatica. Home ultrasound such as Sonic Relief can also save you expensive and time consuming trips to the physiotherapist and allow you to treat your sciatica pain from the comfort of your own home as needed.
Professional treatment.
  • Medication : Prescription medication may be needed to aid the sciatica pain, this may include muscle relaxants, anti inflammatories, and various other drugs.
  • Physical therapy and ultrasound : Physiotherapy is used to begin correcting posture and building strength, a physiotherapist may also administer ultrasound for deep tissue relief.
  • Steroid injections : Steroid injections may be administered to reduce inflammation however the effects are only temporary and the injections have a high risk of causing side effects. 
  • Surgery : Surgery is generally not necessary, only in extreme cases of sciatica in which the compressed nerve causes significant reduction of motion, loss of bladder or bowel control, significant weakness, sudden pain, or if the pain doesn't begin to improve over time. 

How Does Ultrasound Therapy Treat Sciatica?

Picture
Ultrasonic sound waves are pulsed at your Sciatic nerve a million times per second. These waves stimulate your nerve directly and the areas affected by the irritation and inflammation caused by Sciatica.
  • The sound waves penetrate the skin and surface layers causing the soft tissue to vibrate. This produces gentle healing vibrations within the affected area that soothe inflammation and relieve pain.
  • Ultrasound waves also cause tissues to relax and increase blood flow to help reduce local swelling and chronic inflammation.
  • Increased blood flow also delivers more oxygen and nutrients to the tissue, removes cell waste and aids healing.
Regular ultrasound therapy on your Sciatic nerve relieves pain and speeds the healing process.
