After a car accident or a simple back injury, a lot of people miraculously recover. However, there are some instances when these accidents may lead to an even more serious health problem that we never expected.
Over the years, experts have looked into a strange condition known as Sciatica. The term is used to describe a set of symptoms caused by the compression of the sciatic nerve. Although it comprises of different symptoms, people often experience one problem – pain. It’s not just any ordinary pain. It first starts at the lower back and progresses down the hips and thighs. As the pain grows even more severe, the numbing extends to the lower legs. This crippling pain may last for days and even weeks.
Aside from the severe pain, the problem may also arise at any given time. Any simple activity such as walking, sitting, cleaning or even sneezing may all trigger the pain. Often times it also presents no warning signs. The inability to anticipate its occurrence, the severe agony that people have to go through and the debilitating effects give sufferers that anxiety and fear that not only affects the way they live but may also worsen their current condition.
Throughout the years, experts have tried to look for ways to treat this problem. Unfortunately, the wide range of possible causes and the varying severity of the symptoms make it so hard to find a conclusive treatment plan. Health professionals have looked into traditional pain killers and anti-inflammatory drugs, but this only eliminated the pain. Doctors have also offered surgery as a cure. Sadly, not everyone could afford it and the invasive nature of this treatment option added more risks than the previous ones.
The growing number of individuals experiencing this condition has led to the search for other alternative options for Sciatica pain relief and treatment. Although many healthcare professionals still employ the use of pain relief medication and physical therapy, others are now looking into the positive effects of a new non-invasive treatment technique known as Inversion Therapy.
This type of therapy involves suspending the patient with the use of tools specifically designed for the treatment. This position allows muscles to relax and relieves pressure on the vertebra and areas surrounding the sciatic nerve. This technique also promotes relaxation and comfort. Healthcare experts see this as a very promising alternative treatment option because of the impressive results that they see. People not only experience pain relief, but also now have a solution to treat most of the underlying physical conditions that led to the pain in the first place. Hopefully, when coupled with traditional medication, physical therapy and a proper recovery program, the search for an effective treatment for sciatica is finally here.
