Sciatica pain - can pain be relieved?

Question

My wife has sciatica pain in one of her legs. Is there some kind of massage technique I can use to relieve her pain?

Answer 1

I only can recommend to go for a one-time treatment called Atlasprofilax. The effect on the self-healing power of the body is simply amazing, experienced it myself! :-)

Just - the treatment is available in California and Europe only, costing approx. 220 dollars. It's really worth travelling far.

Sorry to read about your Sciatica. I assume you're in the UK so I would suggest you visit your GP and get referred for some physical therapy. There are some physio stretches which they can teach you to help with the Sciatica. As to the "ligament pain" I wonder if you might be also suffering from Meralgia Paraesthetica which is also a nerve compression of a nerve which runs by your belly onto the side of your leg (the nerve is called the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve of the thigh). When your belly grows sometimes it impinges on the nerve and gives you numbness or pain shooting down into your thigh. Do you ever feel like that might be the case? That too will also disappear after the pregnancy. Either way I would definitely make an appointment to see your GP. Hope that helps and good luck!

Answer 5

I cured my sciatica with this natural treatment ( http://cure-sciatica.info )
Normally, I would not answer a question like this as my expertise is generally in medication but I had severe sciatica while I was pregnant with my 3rd child (after having had twins) and I had sciatica so bad that I was finding it difficult to walk. I tried massage therapy and physical therapy and could not take medication
I went to the chiropractor and the pain was instantly relieved. My hips and lower back were out of alignment because I had carried twins the year before. On occasion a Doctor of Osteopathy (DO) can also work but they usually only work on one joint at a time - the chiropractor will do your whole back which works faster. Anyone who does not believe in chiropractors will tell you they are quacks - don't listen.
I don't necessarily believe that chiropractors can cure things like diabetes but they can definitely relieve some types of back pain especially if a pinched nerve is involved which is usually the cause of sciatica.

Answer 6

I recommend a Chiropractor... A Chiropractor will be able to help relieve your wife's sciatica pain, and with a few adjustments she probably won't have the pain again. Sciatica is caused by a bone in your spine being out of line and rubbing on a nerve - massage may help her feel better, but only temporarily - the bone needs to be moved back into line. Good luck! I hope she feels better soon. :)

Answer 8

I've been suffering from sciatica pain for over 34 years and although you can temporairly relieve the pain with massage, exercise and heat, your wife really should see a doctor.

I'm not doctor but I suspect she may have a herniated disc that may be causing the problem.

Please have her see her family doctor who will refer her to a specialist to run tests to actually see what is causing her problem.

Why make her suffer anymore than she has to.

I wish her luck.

YES IT CAN BE RELIEVED! LET ME GIVE YOU A COMPLETE SOLUTION

What is sciatica?

Sciatica is pain resulting from irritation of the sciatic nerve. Sciatica pain is typically felt from the low back to behind the thigh and radiating down below the knee. The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the body and begins from nerve roots in the lumbar spinal cord in the low back and extends through the buttock area to send nerve endings down the lower limb.

What are causes of sciatica?

While sciatica is most commonly a result of a disc herniation directly pressing on the nerve, any cause of irritation or inflammation of this nerve can reproduce the symptoms of sciatica. These cause include irritation of the nerve from adjacent bone, tumors, muscle, internal bleeding, infections, injury, and other causes.

How is sciatica treated?

Bed rest has been traditionally advocated for the treatment of sciatica. But how useful is it?

To study the effectiveness of bed rest in patients with sciatica of sufficient severity to justify treatment with bed rest for 2 weeks, a research team in the Netherlands led by Dr. Patrick Vroomen randomly assigned 183 such patients to bed rest or, alternatively, to watchful waiting for this period.

To gauge the outcome, both primary and secondary measures were examined. The primary outcome measures were the global assessments of improvement after 2 and 12 weeks by the doctor and the patient. The secondary outcome measures were changes in functional status and in pain scores, absenteeism from work, and the need for surgical intervention. Neither the doctors who assessed the outcomes nor those involved in data entry and analysis were aware of the patients' treatment assignments.

The results, reported in The New England Journal of Medicine, showed that after 2 weeks, 64 of the 92 (70 percent) of the patients in the bed-rest group reported improvement, as compared with 59 of the 91 (65 percent) of the patients in the control (watchful- waiting) group. After 12 weeks, 87 percent of the patients in both groups reported improvement. The results of assessments of the intensity of pain, the bothersomeness of symptoms, and functional status revealed no significant differences between the two groups. The extent of absenteeism from work and rates of surgical intervention were similar in the two groups.

The researchers concluded that: "Among patients with symptoms and signs of a lumbosacral radicular syndrome, bed rest is not a more effective therapy than watchful waiting." Sometimes conventional wisdom is not as wise as research!

Other treatments for sciatica include addressing the underlying cause, medications to relieve pain and inflammation and relax muscles, and physical therapy.
