Sciatica refers to pain that travels along the path of the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve travels from the lower back through the hips and buttocks and down each leg.
Sciatica most often occurs when a herniated disk or an overgrowth of bone puts pressure on part of the nerve. This causes inflammation, pain and often some numbness in the affected leg.
| Symptoms |
|
Sciatica pain can be almost anywhere along the nerve pathway. It’s especially likely to follow a path from the low back to the buttock and the back of a thigh and calf. The pain can vary from a mild ache to a sharp, burning pain. Sometimes it can feel like a jolt or electric shock. It can be worse when coughing or sneezing or sitting a long time.
Usually, sciatica affects only one side of the body. Some people also have numbness, tingling or muscle weakness in the leg or foot. One part of the leg can be in pain, while another part can feel numb.

| Root Causes |
- Herniated disk (NS Manganese Plus)
- Bone spurs on spine (NS Celery Seed or NS Phosphorus Plus)
- Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve becomes pinched. The cause is usually a herniated disk in the spine or an overgrowth of bone, sometimes called bone spurs, form on the spinal bones. More rarely, a tumor can put pressure on the nerve.
- Obesity. Being overweight increases stress on the spine.
- Occupation. A job that requires twisting the back, carrying heavy loads or driving a motor vehicle for long periods might play a role in sciatica.
- Prolonged sitting. People who sit a lot or don’t move much are more likely to develop sciatica than active people are.
- Diabetes. This condition, which affects the way the body uses blood sugar, increases the risk of nerve damage.
- Misaligned Pelvis

| Home Remedies |
- Chiropractic Care.
- Exercise regularly. To keep the back strong, work the core muscles — the muscles in the abdomen and lower back needed for good posture and alignment. A health care provider can recommend activities.
- Keep good posture when sitting. Choose a seat with good lower back support, armrests and a swivel base. For better low back support, place a pillow or rolled towel in the small of the back to keep its normal curve. Keep knees and hips level.
- Use your body correctly. When standing for long periods, rest one foot on a stool or small box from time to time. When lifting something heavy, let your legs do the work. Hold the load close to your body. Don’t lift and twist at the same time. Find someone to help lift heavy or awkward things.
- Elevate your knees by putting a pillow underneath them before you sleep. This will help relieve pressure from your spine and let you sleep peacefully.
- Heat and ice therapy — In the case of sciatica flare-ups, you want something that can relieve the pain immediately. So, grab your ice pack and heating pads because those will be your new best friends for the next few hours. First, apply your ice pack where it hurts for 15 minutes every hour. The next thing should do is to put your hot compress in the same area for 15 minutes every 2 to 3 hours.

| Reflexology
|
|
The sciatic nerve runs from the nerves at the base of the spine and runs to the base of the foot (heel) and can be excruciatingly painful, making walking difficult. Hand reflexology is known to have a relaxing effect and can ease anxiety. The best bit is that you can do it any time anywhere!
Hand reflexology is very straightforward: simply ‘walk’ over reflex areas with little caterpillar movements up and down, across and back up to five times each. You can do this several times a day and massage these areas too.
Step 1: Work the brain reflex – the red dot on the tip of your thumbs. Gently walk over back and forth with your other thumb several times. The brain is the centre of the nervous system, so controls the rest of the body.
Step 2: Work the sciatic loop which is marked on the diagram by the black line with red borders across the wrist.
Step 3: Work the spine reflex, the red line running from the wrist to the top of the thumb.
Step 4: Work the sacrum / coccyx reflex which is marked with the yellow oval on the hand, at the base of the spine reflex and above the sciatic loop reflex.
