What is Sciatica, and how do we treat it?
We are here to help you by providing detailed knowledge about sciatica and how we resolve it during laser sessions. Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve, the longest nerve in your body, becomes irritated or compressed. The irritation and compression occur due to the following factors.
Herniated Disc: It is one of the major causes of sciatica. It usually happens when the soft inner material of the spinal disc bulges or leaks out. It can press the sciatic nerve by leaking out, which could cause pain. They have a hard exterior and a semi-solid jelly-like interior. Sometimes, the outer shell of a disc can develop a tear or weakness, and the disc’s soft centre can then extrude and put pressure on the sciatic nerve, resulting in pain. This pain is often unilateral and can sometimes radiate from the buttock down to the leg and even the foot.
Spinal stenosis usually happens when the spinal canal, the bony passageway that protects the spinal cord and nerves, narrows down. This narrowing down is harmful as it puts pressure on the spinal cord and nerves, including the sciatic nerve. It can lead to pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the leg. Spinal stenosis can also be caused by the natural degenerative processes of ageing, arthritis, or trauma to the spine.
Muscle strain or inflammation: The piriformis is a small muscle deep in the buttock near the sciatic nerve. The nerve runs through this muscle, and if it becomes tight or inflamed, the nerve can become compressed and cause sciatic pain. Other muscles, like the buttock and lower back muscles, may also cause sciatic pain if injured or inflamed.
Pregnancy: The uterus increases in mass during pregnancy, which can put pressure on the sciatic nerve and cause sciatica. This pain is often on the right side of the body and recedes after delivery.
Other causes: Other causes of sciatica are cancer, infections, and pregnancy. Pain may also be caused by tumours that apply pressure on the sciatic nerve in the spine or pelvis. Infections of the spine or pelvis can also inflame the sciatic nerve. Sciatic pain can also result from the injury of the sciatic nerve during childbirth.
How Can Laser Therapy Help?
If anyone wonders how laser therapy could heal sciatica pain, we have all the answers and the most reliable treatment. Our laser therapies include treating sciatica pain with high-intensity laser therapy (HILT). Our clinic makes sure that laser therapy includes all the benefits stated:
Faster Healing
The concentrated light energy from Class IV laser therapy helps restore cellular repair processes in damaged tissues, including the herniated disc or any inflamed muscles. This specific light given by these lasers helps to increase the healing and regeneration by decreasing the duration and severity of the sciatic pain.
Improved Nerve Function
In some cases, sciatica can cause nerve damage or irritation to the sciatic nerve itself. Our advanced laser therapy may include improving nerve function by reducing inflammation and promoting nerve regeneration. Our lasers, especially high-intensity ones, can promote nerve regeneration. Our laser treatment can decrease numbness, pain, and tingling. It overall improves the nerve function in the leg.
Improved Flexibility and Range of Motion
We are here to ensure that sciatica pain does not interrupt your daily activities. Laser treatments are highly beneficial for regulating body motion. Laser therapy can give you back the ability to execute simple tasks. It can also help you move your core and other body parts better when working out or performing physical therapy exercises. Maintaining flexibility and the ability to move your body in a wide range of motion can also help protect you from future sciatica attacks by keeping your muscles and joints healthy.
Reduced Reliance on Medication
The best thing about laser treatment is that you will not rely on any medicine or look for surgical methods. Laser therapy only requires some sessions per the recommendation and some aftercare. It is a safe method for promoting healing and improving nerve function. This is the best treatment to save you from sciatica pain.
