Jan. 27, 2011 - PRLog -- Saddle Brook NJ Chiropractor, Dr. Peter Ferraro of Ferraro Spine and Rehabilitation, explains how sciatica is caused, and offers methods to treat the pain.

Sciatica is a term that refers to pain in the sciatic nerve, which is the longest nerve in your body. The sciatic nerve runs from your pelvis through your hip area and buttocks and down each leg. Saddle Brook chiropractor, Dr. Peter Ferraro, explains that this nerve is responsible for controlling many of the muscles in your lower legs, as well as providing feeling in your thighs, legs and feet.

Many Saddle Brook chiropractic patients experience sciatica as a sign that there is an underlying problem putting pressure on a nerve in the lower back. Most commonly, the cause of this is a bulging or herniated lumbar disc. Piriformis syndrome is another common cause, the piriformis being the muscle that lies directly over the sciatic nerve. If this muscle is tight or has a spasm, it can cause sciatic pain. Very commonly, sitting on a wallet in the back pocket can cause this type of sciatic pain.

A tell-tale sign of sciatica is a radiating pain from the lower (lumbar) spine down the buttock to the back of the legs. Other symptoms are numbness, tingling, and muscle weakness in the affected leg. Saddle Brook chiropractic patients should be aware that this pain can come in a wide variety of feelings such as a sharp, burning sensation or a long, excruciating discomfort. It is also a pain that often starts gradually and increases with time.

Saddle Brook chiropractor Dr. Peter Ferraro can help with sciatic pain in a number of ways. It can be relieved through a combination of stretches, a deep tissue massage of the piriformis muscle and regular chiropractic care. If it is from chronic lower back pain, a trigger point injection can be beneficial as well. This is when a medical professional injects a small amount of anesthetic into the affected muscle to break the spasm cycle.
