Struggling with sciatica in Eindhoven?

Sciatica in Eindhoven is a form of radiating back pain.

What exactly is sciatica in Eindhoven?

The condition is named after the large sciatic nerve. This nerve runs from the lower back, through the hip and into the leg. A person with sciatica may experience sudden, severe stabbing or cutting pain along the entire length of the nerve.

The extent to which people suffer from sciatica differs from person to person. In some, the condition is mild in pain intensity and resolves on its own. Others have serious complaints which, in rare cases, can lead to loss of leg or foot muscles.

The duration also differs: sciatica can be a one-off and disappear after treatment, or it can have a chronic character. In the latter case, people remain susceptible to the disease. During periods of weeks or months, the complaints emerge to a greater or lesser extent.

Symptoms that can indicate sciatica are:

• Lower back pain, which is aggravated by coughing, sneezing, and straining.
• A burning or numb feeling.
• Muscle weakness and loss of strength.
• Slower reflexes in legs and feet.
• Tingling and/or pain in the legs, feet, and toes.
• Muscle cramps and pain when pressure on certain places of the nerve
