Did you know that there are two types of sciatica problems? There are many causes to sciatica problems, but there are two main types that affect most people with sciatica issues. The first is a static problem related to a herniated disc. Obviously, that's the worst of the two. Having a herniated disk is no joke. It takes some extra love and attention, but it actually can improve all the way without surgery, medications or injections.
The second type of sciatica problem is one related to the pelvis bones, or the hip bones. The way that they are shifted or moved, or the muscles around them as well that can be spasming and putting pressure to pinch the sciatica nerve. Depending on which of those two conditions anybody has, a sciatica problem can go one way or the other. If both are present, that's especially bad.
The best way to tell the two apart is not by pain. Both can hurt tremendously. Both can hurt all the time. It's more about the location of the pain. If a person has more back related pain, it tends to be more of a herniated disc problem. Another common association with that back related pain, is pain in the leg that goes all the way down the leg, all the way even into the foot, sometimes into the toes as well. Somebody who has back pain and pain down the leg, it's almost always a pinched nerve from a herniated disc that can be contributing to that sciatic nerve type pain.
But the way to differentiate if it's more of a pelvis related sciatica problem, it’s usually just pain in the hip area. The buttock is the most common one, a pain in the butt so to speak. Also paying into the side of the thighs in terms of the front of the thigh. Definitely the back is a common place to get it.
Of course, it is possible to have pain throughout the entire leg, from the back through the hip into the knee, and all the way down into the foot. But the location usually tells us if it's more of a hip type of sciatica problem, or a lower back herniated disc type of sciatica problem.
There you go, you have the two different types of sciatica. Depending on which type of sciatica or problem an individual has, treatment might go very different for a herniated disc type of problem.
