Sciatica Treatment in Union, NJ
Health and Wellness· Union, NJ
The vertebra of the lumbar spine are the largest vertebra in the body because they carry the most weight and are subject to the greatest amount of stress, and is also most associated with back and leg pain. The two lowest levels (L4-L5) and (L5-S1) have the most flexion and extension motion stress, and the highest rate of injury. The intervertebral discs of these two levels also have the highest rate of disc degeneration and herniation. The L5 vertebra is the most common site of spondylosis and spondylolisthesis. The most common lumbar nerves that get pinched or entrapped are the L4, L5, S1 levels. Entrapment of these nerves may lead to a condition called Sciatica. Spinal Nerves The spinal nerves are the electrical wires of the body. They originate at the spinal cord and exit the spinal column through the intervetebral foramen. Nerves exiting the area of the lumbar spine provide sensation and motor control to the back, buttocks, legs and down to the foot. Damage or interference with the transfer of information of these nerves can cause neurological problems such as pain, weakness, abnormal sensations, numbness and changes in spinal reflexes. These symptoms may occur in the back, leg and down to the foot.
