Sciatica Pain

Sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the body. As for its location in the human body, it goes into the buttock and get to the foot coming right from each side of the lower spine.

Sciatica pain, caused due to the injury in the sciatic nerve, is really troublesome as it spreads from the buttock down the posterior of the leg and gets into the foot.

Sciatica is usually followed by certain symptoms like numbness, tingling, burning and prickling sensations and it troubles down to the foot, though, it is first felt in the buttocks and back of the thigh and calf. One thing is quite definite that this sciatica pain is not a trivial issue because it sometimes feels like an electric shock in the affected body parts mentioned above.

Causes of Sciatica

Sciatica is caused by many factors such as a Herniated (slipped) disc, osteoarthritis of the lumbosacral spine, dislocated hip or pressure on the lower spine. Any of these may turn out to be responsible for the sciatica pain but sciatica pain may also happen without any accident or fall or osteoarthritis. It is most commonly seen amongst the people over the age of 30 affecting one side of body or even sometimes, both the sides.

Bowen therapy and treating Sciatica

In treating problems like sciatica pain, Bowen therapy is of immense importance that refers to a delicate form of body work performing finely over the muscles and connective tissues. Once you apply this and if you are a sciatica patient, it gets deep into your body recovering the cellular memory that we prefer to have in our own body. Well, it is a brilliant process comparable to a series of switches that set up a process of adjustments in order to improve the state of affected parts. Moreover, it generates the body's natural ability to mend itself.

The Bowen technique is not only useful for the musculo-skeletal framework, but also for the fascia, nerves and internal organs. As a result of these manifold implications, this makes the circulation and lymphatic drainage better. Added to this, it also aids to absorb the nutrients removing the toxins. Bowen therapy has received tremendous response because the patients with sciatic pain are receiving great relief from it.  

Anyone having sciatic pain needs about two sessions of the same therapy that is applied to Herniated Disc. To put it in a simple manner, Bowen therapy endows you with a maximum relief at the cost of a minimal intervention.  It is suggested to avoid any other therapy 4 days before and 7 days after a Bowen treatment as it hinders the healing process of Bowen therapy.
