Cure SciaticaIn order to cure sciatica, you must first be completely sure of the actual source of the pain. In 9 out of 10 cases of chronic sciatica, mistaken diagnosis is the only obstacle in finding true and permanent resolution of all symptoms.Cure Sciatica Diagnosis
Achieving an accurate
diagnosis
is the key to beating your pain. The vast majority of
sciatic nerve pain
syndromes are thought to exist because of some abnormality in the spine. The most common of these conditions includes
degenerative disc disease,
herniated discs
and spinal
osteoarthritis.
Other causes are sometimes identified as being structurally induced, but not directly linked to the spinal structures. The most common of these conditions includes
piriformis syndrome
and
sacroiliac joint pain.
These last 2 conditions are commonly called
pseudo-sciatica,
since they feel like sciatica and present all the typical symptoms, but are not caused by a spinal irregularity.The actual cause of most long term sciatica symptoms is the same causation behind a host of psychosomatic pain syndromes. This process is called ischemia and is quite harmless, although it can be extremely painful and debilitating. Ischemic sciatica is the direct result of a purposeful deprivation of oxygen to the affected anatomical region. In the case of sciatica, this region includes some or all the nerves (and possibly muscles) in the lower back, pelvis, buttocks, legs and feet. How to Cure SciaticaOf course, it is always wise to give your doctor the benefit of the doubt and try the recommended therapy options. If the diagnosis is correct and a physical cause exists, the symptoms should generally be alleviated in a matter of 4 to 12 weeks, depending on the specific cause. Most sciatic nerve pain conditions, due to a spinal source, will heal in 6 to 8 weeks when given appropriate care. If you try several conservative sciatica treatment options but do not find lasting relief or find your symptoms getting worse, rather than better, there is a good chance that your diagnosis is not correct.Here is where it is crucial to take part in your own care, before you are forced into some treatment choice which might do permanent damage. Typically, patients who do not respond to conservative care, or whose symptoms escalate, are recommended to undergo sciatica surgery. Once operated on, there might be no turning back… Surgery has proven itself to be a poor curative modality for virtually all forms of back pain and offers particularly bad statistics for permanently resolving sciatica pain. Before you acquiesce to surgical intervention, be sure to exhaust ALL conservative options and consider the fact that your diagnosis might be faulty, not your previous treatments… Cure Sciatica AdviceI suffered with chronic sciatica and lower back pain for 18 long years. I tried all the conservative treatments and still fell into a downward spiral of progressive misery and pain. My symptoms grew worse by the year until they virtually controlled my life. I was really thinking about surgery when I found Dr. Sarno’s tension myositis diagnosis and used his knowledge therapy approach to permanently end my pain. I was so happy to finally feel healthy again and could not believe how easy it was to actually become pain free. As I mention throughout the site, achieving an accurate diagnosis is absolutely the most important part of recovering from sciatica. Once this is accomplished, you should be on the road to a better life in no time…Cure Sciatica to Sciatica 11/25/08 Revised 7/30/11 |
