What is Sciatica?

Sciatica refers to pain experienced along the path of the sciatic nerve - the longest nerve in the body, which runs from the lower back through the pelvis and buttock area, right down to the back of the lower leg. Sciatica is a fairly common form of lower back and leg pain and is due to the sciatic nerve being irritated or compressed. The pain of sciatica varies from an infrequent discomfort to a continuous, excruciating and debilitating pain.

Sciatica is usually experienced as pain that radiates from your lower back to your buttock and down the back of your leg. This pain may be mild or severe and is sometimes felt as a burning sensation or a sharp jolt. Sciatica may be sudden or insidious in onset and worsen over time.

In some people who suffer from sciatic pain it may be accompanied by a numbness or weakness in the leg or foot as well as a feeling of tingling or pins-and-needles in the toes.

What causes Sciatica?

The most common cause of sciatica is pressure on the sciatic nerve from a herniated or slipped vertebral disc (“Pinched nerve”). Between each of the vertebrae in your spine lies a disc of cartilage to act as a cushioning shock-absorber and allow flexibility of the spine. With age and wear-and-tear, these discs may become brittle and compressed - allowing part of the disc to protrude from its normal position within the spinal column and press on the nerve root. This generally happens in people between the ages of 30 and 50.

Other less common causes of sciatica include narrowing of the spinal canal (known as stenosis), spinal tumors, injury and trauma. Various other problems affecting the bones, joints and muscles of the back and pelvis can also cause sciatica though these may not always be easily diagnosed, sometimes leaving the cause of the sciatic pain unknown.

People in their 30’s and 40’s are most likely to develop sciatica, which is uncommon in younger people. Physically demanding occupations which require heavy lifting, driving long hours or twisting the back are all risk factors for developing sciatica.

Depending on the cause, sciatic pain often resolves on its own in approximately six weeks.

Complications of sciatica

Depending on the cause of sciatica, numbness or lameness in the affected limb may occur as well as loss of bladder and bowel control in some cases. In severe cases of sciatica, permanent nerve damage may occur.

How is sciatica usually treated?

Most people with sciatica are prescribed pain-killers or anti-inflammatory medications to relieve the pain. These generally provide some relief but have the potential to cause serious adverse side-effects. Medications are usually used in combination with physical therapy and stretching/strengthening exercises as well as hot and cold packs.

In severe cases of sciatic pain that does not respond to the usual treatments, conventional health practitioners may advise injections of anti-inflammatory steroids into the affected area. These injections are not always very effective and can also cause serious side-effects. Because of the dangers, there is a limit on how many of these injections an individual can receive - not usually more than three per year.

Surgery to remove the herniated part of a disc is sometimes performed on people with severe symptoms like weakness or incontinence or if the pain is worsening despite treatment.

Arctium lappa (Burdock) has been used for many centuries as a blood purifier and system cleanser. It also has antibiotic and antirheumatic properties and can help to treat swelling around joints. Burdock is also useful for treating and preventing calcification - a degenerative process which can contribute to the narrowing of the spinal canal. These properties make Burdock an excellent herb for relief of sciatica caused by inflammation or sclerosis in the spinal column. Burdock is used in naturopathic medicine to treat arthritis, lumbago, rheumatism and sciatica.

Harpagophytum procumbens (Devil's Claw) This herb is indigenous to the Kalahari Desert and grows only in Africa. Because of its powerful anti-inflammatory properties, Devil's Claw is used world-wide for osteo-arthritis, fibrositis, rheumatism, small joint disease and lower backache. Scientific analysis shows that the most important active ingredients in Devil's Claw include monoterpine, harpagoside, glycoside, beta-sitosterol, procumbine and stigmasterol. It is also well known as a digestive tonic and is beneficial in the treatment of liver and gall bladder disorders.

Customer Testimonials

"A few weeks ago I hurt my back while trying to move a heavy book-case into my living room. I thought I would come right within a day or two but a week later I felt the pain was getting worse and if I leaned over or moved my back much at all, I felt a shooting pain right down to my foot. I ended up in bed lying as dead still as I possibly could, feeling extremely sorry for myself which is really not like me. My doctor prescribed pain medication that barely made any difference and told me the next step was steroid injections - not a comforting thought! I started looking on the internet for alternatives and found your SciatiGon remedy. I ordered it immediately and started taking it the minute it arrived. Within 3 days I was feeling better and by the end of a week I was up and about and doing housework (very carefully). I am taking every precaution and seeing a physical therapist but only because I never want to experience that pain again! Thank you for a life-saving remedy - after stories from friends with similar problems I have no idea what I would have done if I hadn’t found SciatiGon!" - Bronwyn "Quite recently husband suffered from a slipped disc and developed sciatica which pretty much crippled him. I could see he was in agony and felt frustrated with his doctor who did not seem too worried about the whole situation. I’ve used Native Remedies products before with good results and was pleased to find that you have a remedy for sciatica. My husband took SciatiGon regularly and soon reported that the pain was easing. He improved in leaps and bounds from that point onwards and was back at work long before his doctor had expected. Once again Native Remedies has been the answer to my family’s health problems- thank you!" - Marina
