Risk Factors for Sciatica

Sciatica

Severe pain in the lower back, hips, and buttocks is usually a symptom of sciatica. While our office helps people every day who are suffering from this painful condition, we would rather that people become able to identify the signs that they are going to have a problem and come to visit us before the pain really starts.

Read on to learn the risk factors of sciatica and how Lone Tree Chiropractic in Lone Tree, CO, can help.

Risk Factors for Sciatica

If you have these risk factors, make an appointment to visit our office so that we can help you take steps to correct the issue before much more serious problems develop.

  • Age. As a person ages, issues such as herniated discs and bone spurs are more likely to occur. These conditions will aggravate or pinch the sciatic nerve.
  • Obesity. Extra weight is responsible for increasing the stress on the spine. Excessive body weight can also contribute to the spinal changes that trigger sciatica.
  • Your job. A job that requires you to twist your back, carry heavy loads, or drive a motor vehicle for long periods might play a role in sciatica. Even jobs that require prolonged periods of sitting can affect or aggravate the sciatic nerve.
  • Diabetes. This affects the way your body processes blood sugar and can therefore increase your risk of nerve damage.
