Sciatica Nerve Pain Relief Parramatta

Lower leg pain originating from or relating to low back dysfunction can be very successfully treated & prevented by Spinal and Sports Care.

In the majority of cases, a herniated lumbar disc will slowly improve over a period of several days to weeks. Typically, most patients are free of symptoms by 3 to 4 months. However, some patients do experience episodes of pain during their recovery.

Unless there are neurological deficits — muscle weakness, difficulty walking — or cauda equina syndrome, conservative care is the first course of treatment. Because it is not clear that nonsurgical care is any better than letting the condition resolve on its own, the focus is on providing pain relief.

Dry Needling In Parramatta

Dry needling in Parramatta is based on the Trigger Point theory of discrete irritable points in skeletal muscle and fascia which are usually painful, tender and can radiate pain. Essentially, Myofascial Trigger Points are tight spasming areas within muscles which cause a lot of pain or dysfunction.

Dry Needling In Parramatta

When tissue is injured, whether by acute trauma or repetitive use, the body responds with inflammation to that area. In an effort to further protect itself, the damaged tissue contracts, and if left untreated, restriction in mobility can occur as scar tissue builds up around the muscles and tissues. Dry needling can not only eliminate neuromuscular pain but also restore mobility and functionality.

Sciatica Nerve Pain Relief Parramatta

Protective Optimal Loading. Usually several days where movement is initiated but protected to avoid further injury. Take rest breaks throughout the day, but avoid sitting for long periods of time. Make all your movements slow and controlled. Change your daily activities so that you avoid movements that can cause further pain, especially bending forward and lifting.
Anti-inflammatory medications. Medicines like ibuprofen or NSAIDs may relieve pain. Ice is much better than heat initially.
Chiropractic & Physical Therapy. Specific treatment such as massage, Maitland’s mobilisations and manipulations in conjunction with specific exercises such as McKenzie Exercises can reduce inflammation and muscle spasm as well as strengthen your lower back and abdominal muscles. In addition to other conservative treatments, there are also several modalities that can be included in treatment for lumbar herniated discs. These include:
- Mechanical traction
- Ultrasound
- Low-Power Laser
Surgical Treatment Only a small percentage of patients with lumbar disc herniations require surgery. Spine surgery is typically recommended only after a period of nonsurgical treatment has not relieved painful symptoms.
Microdiscectomy. The most common surgical procedure for a herniated disc in the lower back is a lumbar microdiscectomy. Microdiscetomy involves removing the herniated part of the disc and any fragments that are putting pressure on the spinal nerve.
Rehabilitation. Most patients do not require formal physical therapy after surgery. After your surgeon evaluates you and confirms that your incision is healed, you may begin a rehabilitation exercise program. A simple walking program 30 minutes each day, along with flexibility exercises for the back and legs, can be done as a home program.
