Sciatica, what are the true causes? Typically thought of as leg pain with or without back pain, has a few different causes. Some more serious then others.

-Sciatica caused by tight piriformis muscle. In some people the sciatic nerve pierces through the piriformis muscle instead of below it. This can create lower leg and calf numbness in the sensory distribution of the sciatic nerve.

-Sciatica from facet joint irritation. This can be from repetitive motions at work or in daily life. Typically presenting as a stiffness or ache in the leg or thigh and does not go below the knee... "typically."

-Sciatica from nerve root impingement. This is most commonly found in those with herniated discs. If the herniation is large enough it can hit a specific nerve root that sends superficial shock like pain down the leg in its specific dermatomal pattern. It can also be in the form of numbness in these specific patterns. If severe enough it can even create weakness in the foot or calf.

With the different causes of sciatica, some causes get better with stretches while other causes get worse. Always see a specialist prior to "working through the pain." This can save you time in the long run on full recovery.

Ever wonder how a bone heals?

-Starting with new vessel growth, fibrous tissue can now be delivered to injury site.

-This fibrous tissue is unique, as it can shorten, and bring the bone ends together.

-This forms a callus and it continues to grow larger and stronger.

-The whole process then ends with a remodeling to bone. Removing excess callus that is not necessary.
