What is sciatica?
The sciatic nerve runs from the lower back into the big toe. Sciatica refers to the burning referred pain that runs along the sciatic nerve. It commonly effects only one side of the body.
Causes and symptoms:
Common causes include disk herniation, bone spurs and spinal stenosis which in turn compresses the nerve. This compression causes inflammation of the sciatic nerve causing numbness, tingling and a pins and needles sensation. In severe cases leg weakness and incontinence can occur.
Risk Factors:
1. Age
2. Obesity
3. Occupation
4. Prolonged sitting
5. Diabetes
Prevention and treatment:
Regular exercise focused on strengthening the back and core as well as proper posture is essential. Maintaining proper posture when sitting and taking regular breaks from long periods of sitting can help prevent sciatica. Speak to a Biokineticist at the CDE Fitness centre on 011 712 6020 to get the right advice on how to treat and prevent Sciatica from occurring.

Low back pain is a common musculoskeletal complication seen in modern day society and in a wide variety of individuals. Low back pain can be experienced as confined discomfort situated above the gluteal crease but not above the first ribcage. The pain is associated with functional limitations especially among the elderly. Low back pain is grouped as specific when the aetiology is known. The pain can also be described as either acute, subacute or chronic depending on the duration of symptoms,

Strength training and aerobic exercise has a considerable positive effect on pain levels experienced due to low back pain across a variety of groups. Exercises to activate deep stabilisation muscles such as the transverse abdominals and multifidus were previously utilised. Exercises frequently used as part of an intervention program include walking, slow sit ups, bird dog, straight leg raises, plank and stretches of the hamstrings, trunk flexors and extensors as well as the hip flexors.

Need further information on how to treat back pain please feel free to call our Biokinetic team for more assistance.
