How to treat inflammation of a sciatic nerve

In the human body, a huge number of nerves - they all transmit pulses from the brain to a particular part of the body. The largest of them is considered a sedlicated, which begins in the area of \u200b\u200blumbar-scene and falls along the entire lower limb. Inflammation of this nerve in a medical language is called "Ishias", and it is better to treat this disease, applying medical methods and drugs. Supplement can also be proven folk methods.

Ishias comes then, then the root or barrel of the sciatic nerve for various reasons is pinched between the joints, and its squeezing passes. As a result, a sufficient amount of blood does not come to the nerve, and after some time inflammation begins on this site. Signs of Ishias: A sharp burning pain that first gives to the lower back, and then spreading to the buttock area. If you do not start treatment during, then the pain covers the inner part of the thigh, and the shin, and even a foot.

At the first signs of pinching a sedlication nerve, you need to contact the doctor. It may be a neuropathologist, surgeon or even the therapist. Any competent specialist diagnoses Ishias according to the patient's interpretation. Sometimes with not very clear symptoms, the doctor may assign additional research: a general analysis of blood and urine, x-ray of a lumbar and pelvic department, a computer tomograph of the lower body. When x-ray or tomograph, it is possible to see which nerve department inflamed, and the tests will confirm the disease with an increased amount of leukocytes.

The causes of the pinching of the sedlication nerve can be:

intervertebral hernia;
osteochondrosis;
tumor of any etiology.

The doctor will definitely provide recommendations how to treat one of these diseases, but before that it will remove the inflammation of the sciatic nerve.

In the first pain, injections of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are first prescribed: ibuprofen, indomethacin, orthophene, pyroxics and other similar. When improving the state of injection can be replaced by tablet forms. In case of tolerant pains or lower back, you can use any ointment or gel, designed to relieve inflammation: tramel with, finalgon, kicoflex, viprosal. If ointment you can try to remove pain yourself, then injections and tablets should appoint a doctor.

With inflammation of the satellite nerve, the physical supports are coped with the specialist: UHF, phonophoresis or drug electrophoresis, warm paraffin wraps, diadynamic currents, magnetotherapy. The physical supports are directed to the removal of edema at the site of pinching the nerve and the resumption of blood flow. After the injection, the use of ointments and visits to the physiotherapy office will leave, the result can be consolidated by a massage course or daily healing charging.

Of the folk methods, the following can be recommended:

The decoction of dry calendula roots: 1 tbsp. l. And 250 ml of water boil 15 minutes, then strain and drink four times a day with equal portions. The decoction will help remove slight inflammation.
Wrapping bee wax: Melt the beeswax and warm to sore place. Take a foot or lower back film, and look at the top with a warm blanket. Keep the wax applique for at least 20-25 minutes.
Warm baths with horseradish: Sutitate 3-4 large horseradish root, wrap the mass with cotton fabric and make this bag. Lower it in the bath with hot water and sit in it 10-15 minutes.
Coniferous baths: 1 kg of young pine escapes booke in 3 liters of water. Perfoliate infusion and pour in the bath - proportion (1/15 - decoction / water).

Homemade, wrapping and baths Make overnight. So you will avoid further cooling of the root parts of the body, which will allow you to quickly remove inflammation.

I would like to advise not to neglect the campaign to the doctor, especially if the inflammation of the sciatic nerve bothers you often. It is necessary to find the initial cause of the occurrence of Ishias, which can be diagnosed and cured only in hospital conditions.
