Pain Management and Sciatica

Are you experiencing pain that shoots down the back of one buttock or thigh? This may be a sign of a common condition known as SCIATICA ( irritation of the sciatic nerve). The sensation of pain can vary widely, from a mild ache, a sharp, burning sensation, or extreme discomfort. Sciatica is also commonly associated with feelings of numbness, weakness, and tingling. The intensity of pain sensation can be worsened by prolonged sitting, standing up, coughing, sneezing, twisting, lifting, or straining. Treatment for sciatic pain ranges from hot and cold packs and prescription pain medications, to physical therapy exercises and complementary and alternative remedies.
