Bản chép lời đầy đủ của Where Does Sciatica Come From?

WEBVTT 00:00:00.549 --> 00:00:03.229 Every day in my office, people are talking about 00:00:03.229 --> 00:00:06.650 sciatica. I think I have sciatica. And I wanted 00:00:06.650 --> 00:00:09.429 to kind of clear up some misconceptions about 00:00:09.429 --> 00:00:11.630 sciatica. And I actually got a new poster in 00:00:11.630 --> 00:00:13.910 my office that's gonna help us do it. So if you 00:00:13.910 --> 00:00:16.870 take a look at this poster, you've got your spine 00:00:16.870 --> 00:00:19.489 coming down and your spinal cord and all the 00:00:19.489 --> 00:00:22.469 nerves that branch off, and then it becomes the 00:00:22.469 --> 00:00:25.050 sciatic nerve. This big, thick nerve. It's actually 00:00:25.050 --> 00:00:28.530 as big as my thumb. And it comes down the back 00:00:28.530 --> 00:00:31.890 of the leg. So if you look at me, it's gonna 00:00:31.890 --> 00:00:35.149 come out from here and it goes down the back 00:00:35.149 --> 00:00:37.590 of the leg. And here's how it would present. 00:00:37.710 --> 00:00:39.810 Someone with sciatica, a lot of times they're 00:00:39.810 --> 00:00:42.030 gonna have back pain, sometimes they don't. But 00:00:42.030 --> 00:00:45.270 typically, they might lean like this and ah! 00:00:45.750 --> 00:00:48.990 It bites and shoots down their leg like a lightning 00:00:48.990 --> 00:00:52.030 bolt. Okay, not an aching leg. People come in 00:00:52.030 --> 00:00:54.530 sometimes and they have a little bit of a hamstring 00:00:54.530 --> 00:00:57.070 strain and they think it's sciatica. Another 00:00:57.070 --> 00:01:00.600 thing is people come in and they have groin pain, 00:01:00.899 --> 00:01:03.119 or they have pain down the front of the leg, 00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:05.780 and they think it's sciatica. That's a totally 00:01:05.780 --> 00:01:08.120 different nerve. That's not sciatica. Sciatica 00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:11.859 is only down the back of the leg. Another distinction 00:01:11.859 --> 00:01:14.099 I want to make, this is called your ilium, or 00:01:14.099 --> 00:01:16.420 some people call it their big hip bone, and it 00:01:16.420 --> 00:01:19.099 forms a joint with the sacrum. And this is called 00:01:19.099 --> 00:01:22.439 your sacroiliac joint, sometimes called an SI 00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:25.299 joint. And what happens with this, because that 00:01:25.299 --> 00:01:30.260 word sacroiliac sounds like sciatica, everybody 00:01:30.260 --> 00:01:32.780 confuses that. But they're totally different. 00:01:33.060 --> 00:01:35.700 They require different type of treatment. And 00:01:35.700 --> 00:01:37.719 so we want to kind of make a clear distinction. 00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:40.920 I don't expect you to basically diagnose yourself, 00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:43.459 but there's some information there that can help 00:01:43.459 --> 00:01:45.640 distinguish whether you have sciatica or not. 00:01:46.099 --> 00:01:49.579 If you or anyone you know think you have sciatica, 00:01:49.980 --> 00:01:53.239 have a back anything, have a neck anything, you 00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:56.180 call us.
