Sciatica is pain, tingling, or numbness generated by irritation of the roots of sciatic nerve (largest nerve of the body). Common causes of sciatica include a ruptured disk, narrowing of the spinal canal and injury. Sciatica pain radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, from the lower spine (lumbar) to the buttock and down the back of the leg. Usually, only one side of the body is affected. It can feel like a jolt or electric shock. It is most common in older adults (in their 40s and 50s). Men are more commonly affected than women.
Medication, acupuncture, and massage therapy can help in sciatica pain cure. Stretching exercises for lower back like hamstring stretch with assistive products like Oppo progressive resistance band can help in managing sciatica. Cold ice pack compression provides pain relief and reduces inflammation. If the cause of sciatica pain is lumbar disc herniation, most cases resolve spontaneously over weeks to months. If you are suffering from sciatica, avoid bending, lifting loads, or sitting in a soft, low chair. Lying on back on a firm surface with a pillow under the knees may feel more comfortable. Daily living aids like no tie elastic shoelaces, stocking aid can help you manage daily activities. View walking supports like advanced design sticks, walkers as well as anti-slip aids that ensure safer movement. Folding commode chairs, toilet seat raisers can be the solution to bathroom needs of the elderly with sciatica.
