Sciatica is a condition where a nerve causes pain due to compression or inflammation. This mostly affects the lower back area. And the reason can be a nerve pressed or inflamed. The sciatic nerve is the one that goes from the lower back to the buttocks area and down toward both legs. The pain can be caused due to a physical blow or an injury. But the most common cause of the pain is a slipped or herniated disk. It is the longest nerve in the body, and therefore pain in the nerve can be exhausting and felt in different areas of the body. 

If someone has a problematic sciatic nerve, they can feel pain in the body anywhere around the path of the nerve. Which starts from the lower back and goes down to your legs. The pain can be mild or severe based on the condition and the severity of the injury or inflammation.

Sciatica Pain Types

There are four major types of sciatic pain. These are;

  • Acute Sciatica
  • Chronic Sciatica

Chronic Sciatica

Chronic sciatica is a sciatic nerve pain that lasts more than 8 weeks. And usually requires treatment because it cannot be handled through self-management. There can be any cause behind the pain and depending on that and the severity of the pain. A surgical or nonsurgical treatment might be required to treat it.

 

Alternated Sciatica

Alternated sciatic pain is when the pain affects both legs alternatively. It is a rare type of disease. And the reason behind this type of pain happening can be a problematic sacroiliac joint.

 

Bilateral Sciatica

Bilateral sciatic nerve pain is when pain occurs in both legs at the same time. This type is also rare and can be caused due to degenerative changes in the vertebrae or the disk. Serious conditions such as the “cauda equina syndrome” can also be a reason behind this pain.

Stem Cell Therapy for Sciatica Nerve Pain

Stem cell therapy is the latest inclusion in the field of medical technology. This is done by inserting stem cells inside a problematic body area using a syringe. Upon entering the body, the stem cells start looking for dead or damaged cells and tissues and start repairing them. When used for sciatica nerve pain, the stem cells can reduce the inflammation and the damage done to the nerve and revive it. The stem cells have the ability to repair almost any type of cell inside a body which makes them able to treat the sciatic nerve.

The cells find the damaged areas of the nerve and repair or replace those cells with a new ones. Reducing the inflammation to almost zero and making the nerve as good as new.
