SCIATICA

What is sciatica?

Sciatica is nerve pain caused by pinching of the sciatic nerve. This affects the back, hip, and outer side of the leg.

Typically, most sciatica will only last for up to a few weeks, and won’t cause any permanent damage. However, if your sciatica is disrupting your everyday life, or has been an issue for more than a month, it is advisable to seek medical attention.

As a result of the pain and discomfort caused by sciatica, patients may find they also suffer from a lack of sleep, irritability, stress, anxiety and depression.

Sciatica, Stress and Sleep – a Brain Perspective

Stress has been linked to, and shown to exacerbate sciatica. Stress typically manifests as fight or flight brainwave patterns which trigger a system-wide emergency response ‘hi-jacking’ and compromising all other vital health functions and systems.

There is also the well established phenomena of stress-related back and neck pain with symptoms such as diffuse muscle aches, muscle tenderness and mobile (moving) pain.

Stress has been shown to cause flare ups of sciatica. For example, you may not have had sciatic symptoms in months, but a big project at work or other stressor has come up your sciatica can return worse than ever.

For this reason it is important to learn to manage stressful events, to ensure they don’t initiate or exacerbate the condition. Sciatic pain may also keep a sufferer awake at night, and prevent them from sleeping.
