Why Does Sciatica Come and Go?
Do you suffer from inexplicable pain that radiates throughout your lower back and perhaps even down to your legs? If so, then you may be suffering from sciatica, a condition where the sciatic nerve (one of the longest in the body) becomes compressed due to spinal misalignment, resulting in severe pain and discomfort. On some days, you may find that the pain is tolerable, whereas the pain may keep you from doing anything active on other days.
Why Does the Pain Come and Go?
If your sciatica pain seems to come and go, you may be wondering why that is the case. In some instances, the pain may become worse when muscle spasms are involved or when you have a disc that is pressing up against the sciatic nerve on and off. Furthermore, if you have any instability in your ligaments, this could also be causing your pain to come and go.
Your level of activity can also have an impact on your pain levels. Many find that the more active they are, the less they experience the pain, and vice versa. Unfortunately, this can be a catch 22 because many people are unable to remain active when they have sciatica.
Options for Sciatica Treatment
If you have sciatica, the good news is that there are plenty of viable sciatica treatment options available. And while the condition may not be 100% curable, it's very possible to treat the symptoms and significantly relieve your pain.
A good first step to take is to see an Atlanta chiropractor. This way, you can receive an evaluation and recommendation for treatment. Many chiropractors can perform not only massage therapy, but spinal adjustments to help align your spine and take some of the pressure off of your sciatic nerve, thus relieving the pain.
