The sciatic nerve is a major nerve, or more precisely nerve with the largest diameter in human body that extends from the lumbar part of the spinal cord down the back of the thigh and divides above the knee joint. The sciatic nerve provides sensation and strength of the leg, connects the spinal cord with the outside of the thigh, and muscles of the leg and foot. In other words, the sciatic nerve controls the movements we do with our extremities.
Pain that appears as a result of irritation or inflammation of the sciatic nerve is called sciatica. The most common reason for sciatica is compression of a spinal nerve root in the lower back, often owing to degeneration of an intervertebral disc. Patients who suffer from sciatica experience muscle weakness in the leg and/or numbness or tingling, as well as unbearable pain in the back of the thigh.
If is left untreated, the pain that affects the back, hip and outer side of the leg can intensify and over time, the pain also can immobilize the patient. Medical therapy is one of the treatment options for sciatica, which includes over-the-counter pain relievers, muscle relaxants, prescription pain medications (for patients who experience severe pain), physical therapy and even surgery for most severe cases.
However, there are alternative solutions, such as acupuncture and natural remedies which efficiently reduce the sciatic nerve pain.
In today’s article we are going to present you the recipe for garlic milk, natural remedy that is incredibly effective in reducing the sciatic nerve pain.\
