If you’re suffering from unbearable sciatic pain, which leaves you unable to move freely, can’t get a good night’s sleep, and struggling to make it through the day, don’t lose hope!
At our clinic, we have seen hundreds of patients who’ve suffered for years with sciatica and even been told by doctors that nothing can be done and that they’ll have to rely on pills to manage the pain.
Yet, after working with our team, patients have their sciatica cured and are able to get back to their life without pain.
In this article, you can discover the cause of sciatica, how long sciatica usually lasts, and how to cure sciatica permanently.
What Causes Sciatica?
Sciatica pain is caused by compression or inflammation of the sciatic nerve. This can be due to a variety of causes, including a herniated disc, spinal stenosis (a narrowing of the spinal canal), or tightness in the muscles and ligaments that support your spine.
Whatever the cause of your sciatica, we know that you’ll probably be fearful about the future, as the pain becomes more frequent and more severe, and it’s understandable.
But there is hope, and in nearly every case, we know that sciatica can be treated naturally, and without injections and surgery.
What Are The Symptoms Of Sciatica?
The main symptom of sciatica is a sharp or burning sensation that radiates from the lower back and down one or both legs. This sensation follows the path of the sciatic nerve.
It is typically felt in the buttock, thigh, and calf region, with some patients experiencing numbness and weakness in the affected leg(s).
Other common symptoms include tingling, burning pain when sitting or standing for extended periods, and pain that worsens when bending or twisting.
How Long Does Sciatica Last?
If you’re suffering from sciatic pain right now – we know you’ll be desperate for it to end.
Sciatica can last anywhere from a few days, to a few weeks. When it does strike, sciatica can completely debilitate you, and we’ve even seen people whose sciatica was so bad, they could barely walk.
Even in the most serious cases, sciatica will decrease gradually over time and can usually be managed with conservative treatments such as physical therapy, stretching, and ice/heat therapy.
However, if you’ve experienced sciatica in the past, you are very likely to suffer from it again unless you address the root cause of the pain. That’s often a common mistake people make.
Their sciatica stops hurting them.
And they hope that it never comes back, but they don’t do anything to make sure this happens.
That’s why you may have been battling sciatica for years.
Can You Cure Sciatica Permanently?
Despite what you might have been told, sciatica can be cured permanently without having to resort to surgery or a lifetime of medication.
This is made possible by addressing the underlying cause of your sciatica using natural, proven methods such as physical therapy, massage, stretching, and exercises.
Initially, you want quick relief from sciatic pain, which we can provide using non-invasive, non-medicated methods.
Once the initial pain has passed, the treatment for sciatica shifts to stopping it from returning.
Strengthening, stretching, and improving your mobility while working on lifestyle factors that could be contributing to your sciatica is the next phase of treatment.
This is the crucial difference between our care, and what you may have tried before, and why so many of our patients find a cure for their sciatica!
