Originating in the lower back and extending down each leg, sciatica manifests as low back pain, accompanied by potential sensations of numbness or tingling in the legs and feet.<\/p>\n<p>Several factors can lead to nerve damage causing sciatica, with a herniated disc being a common culprit. Other potential causes include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Spinal Stenosis:<\/strong> Narrowing of the spinal cord, putting pressure on the sciatic nerve.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Spondylolisthesis:<\/strong> Displacement of a lower back vertebrae, exerting pressure on the sciatic nerve.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Degenerative Disc Disease:<\/strong> Common with aging, causing thinning of discs and related issues.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Osteoarthritis:<\/strong> Inflammation in spinal joints impacting the sciatic nerve.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For athletes and active individuals, getting back into the game swiftly is crucial. That&#8217;s where physical therapy becomes a game-changer.

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and corticosteroids pose risks, including blood clots, heart issues, cataracts, high blood sugar, and bone loss. Physical therapy stands out as a safer and healthier alternative. During your consultation, your physical therapist will delve into your medical history, lifestyle, and specific pain areas to create a tailored treatment plan. This approach ensures long-term results, allowing you to maintain an active and healthy lifestyle without the reliance on medications.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sciatica, often a game-changer for active individuals, occurs when the sciatic nerve, the body&#8217;s longest nerve, undergoes damage, typically due to compression or inflammation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"content-type":"","footnotes":""},"pain-point":[26],"class_list":["post-1031","condition","type-condition","status-publish","hentry","pain-point-spine"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/helixpt.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/condition\/1031","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/helixpt.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/condition"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/helixpt.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/condition"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/helixpt.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/condition\/1031\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/helixpt.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1031"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"pain-point","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/helixpt.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pain-point?post=1031"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
