Sciatica Muscle Spasm
What is a Sciatica Muscle Spasm?A muscle spasm generally occurs when the muscle is injured and not functioning properly or when it is deprived of proper circulation. Sciatica patients can experience muscle spasms in their lower back, buttocks, legs or feet. Back spasms are by far the worst, since they completely debilitate the patient. It is virtually impossible to even move when being victimized by a powerful lower back contraction. Spasms in the legs or feet are equally troubling, but slightly less disabling and are very much like a charlie horse one might experience from running.Sciatica Muscle Spasm DiagnosisMuscle spasms are associated with a wide range of dorsopathy syndromes. Many doctors theorize what causes muscular spasms, although few will commit to a concrete answer. Muscular injury is definitely one source behind painful spasming contractions, but what about patients who have been diagnosed with a herniated disc or degenerative disc disease as their main source of pain? What about patients with spinal stenosis or osteoarthritis? How do spasms occur in these poor souls? The answer to this question lies in the main problem facing the back pain industry in general and specifically the medical treatment of sciatica... MISDIAGNOSIS.Sciatica Muscle Spasm RealityThe most common and logical reason for a muscle to go into spasm, unless there is an obvious fresh injury and inflammation, is simple ischemia. Oxygen deprivation is the source of muscular spasms caused by many events, from overexertion to endurance sports to growing pains to cramps experienced while reclining in bed. Ischemia is also the source of most radicular pain syndromes and the majority of back pain conditions, in general. Oxygen deprivation sciatica is not normally correctly identified, since it is closely linked to the psychosomatic process. Remember, this process is fully accepted in some aspects of healthcare, but vehemently denied in others. Unfortunately, the back pain industry just can’t accept this diagnosis, since it spells economic disaster for care providers of all healing arts…Sciatica Muscle Spasm AdviceI know muscle spasms are torturous. I experienced them so many times during my 18 years of back pain hell. I recall 2 specific instances when my muscular spasms were so great that they scarred me to the very core. When I close my eyes and think back, I can still feel that pain grinding in my teeth, impaling my heart and tearing through my very soul. I could not go through that again…Luckily, knowledge therapy is the real cure behind the successful resolution of all my back and leg pain symptoms. Using the simple program outlined by Dr. John Sarno and others, I was able to rid myself of pain and suffering once and for all. If you are sick and tired of being a whipping post for your back pain, sciatica pain and muscular spasms, it is time you considered the possibility that your pain is ischemic as well. Be sure to understand that ischemia is the driving force behind most chronic pain conditions, regardless of where they occur in the body. It is also the logical explanation for why medicine has been impotent in the face of back pain and demonstrated abysmal curative statistics for most long term pain conditions. 7/14/08 Revised 12/13/09
