    The diagnosis of 'sciatica' means that there is an inflammation of the sciatic nerve, the largest peripheral nerve in the body. This large nerve is formed from the lower segments of the spinal cord; it is made up from the lumbar and sacral nerve roots from the spinal cord. The sciatic nerve exits the lower part of the spinal cord (lumbosacral region), passes behind the hip joint, and runs down the back of the thigh.                                                                                                                ioiThe sciatic nerve, like most other nerves, performs two basic functions: 1st, it sends signals to your muscles from the brain; and 2nd, it collects sensory information from the legs and passes this back to your brain. Conditions such as sciatica that affect the nerve will alter these normal functions. This usually manifests as either weakness of these leg muscles, pain in the legs and thighs, or both.

    

        Usual symptoms of sciatica:

 

                       Most Common:

     Sciatica Therapy:                 

              

  • A cramping sensation of the thigh

  • Shooting pains from the buttock, down the leg

 

  • Tingling, or pins-and-needles sensations in the legs and thighs

  • A burning sensation in the thigh

Middle age is the most common time in life when these symptoms occur. A very common reason for this in men is the fact of their wallets always being in the same pocket. When sitting, the hips are uneven and after a period of time this causes the nerve to be pinched.

 

 

 

 

There are many treatment available for this condition. RMT Shannon Coldwell has found great success in this condition through Massage Techniques, Stretches and Reflexology.

If after three sessions of sciatica therapy, your pain continues it is suggested to schedule a MRI scan. Several other conditions may cause hip and thigh pain, and need to be considered. If this is the case, along with treatment from an M.D. the therapy can continue and will help alleviate some of the pain.
