💙 #sciatica is one of the most common forms of lower back pain (extending into the buttock, thigh or calf). 💙 The most common cause of sciatica is from a ‘slipped’ disk but can also be caused by degeneration of the tissues in the lower back. 💙 Symptoms can vary from lower back pain, shooting pain down one leg, ‘pins and needles’ and numbness. 💙 Treatment can vary. Stop sporting activities but keep doing daily activities (if pain is severe or loss of bowel/bladder control seek medical attention). Applying heat, getting a massage, stretching, certain exercises can all alleviate symptoms. Strapping the area also reduce the load of the back. 💙 If the pain doesn’t subside after 4-6 weeks return back to the GP. 💙If you feel like you suffer with any of these symptoms message me to see if I can be of any help 🥰 #sciaticapain #sciaticatreatment
