Sciatica refers to a medical condition where pain originates in the lower back and radiates down the leg. People with sciatica often report shooting pains that typically affect one side of the body but can be felt on both sides simultaneously. Some also experience pain in the leg or foot, along with a general feeling of weakness. A herniated disc or bone spur, which creates pressure on the sciatic nerve, causes around 90% of sciatica cases.
Why does my back hurt?
The sciatic nerve is the longest and thickest nerve in our body. It begins in the lumbar area of the spine (L4-L5 vertebral area), passes through the back of the pelvis, and splits to continue down through the buttocks, thighs, and knees, reaching just above the foot. Because the nerve extends from the lower back to the legs, pressure on it can cause pain to radiate not only in the back but also down into the leg.
About 90% of sciatic nerve injuries are caused by a herniated disc. This condition occurs when the intervertebral disc tears and moves out of place. Naturally, this creates pressure on the nerve, which in turn initiates a chain reaction that causes pain. In addition to a herniated disc or bone spur, various factors such as smoking, obesity, and pregnancy can also create pressure on the nerve and cause pain. Unlike carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatic pain is more common in men than in women.
A small device – a great solution for sciatica
Treatments for sciatica include analgesics, physical therapy, injections, and occasionally surgery. However, imagine discovering a device that naturally and non-invasively alleviates pain with no known side effects, which you can use in the comfort of your own home.
B-Cure Laser Pro is a professional medical device, CE approved for personal and home use. For many, it has long been a staple for home pain relief treatment.
The B-Cure Laser is a revolutionary device with a growing global reputation, treating pain for over 350,000 patients. It packages low-level laser therapy (LLLT) technology, used in clinics for over 40 years, for home use. B-Cure Laser harnesses a soft laser at full power into a small, easy-to-operate device. This allows you to treat pain with full LLLT treatment anytime, anywhere.
LLLT? How does it work?
The treatment with the B-Cure laser is very simple. All you have to do is place the device on the recommended treatment points according to the painful area. Use it for 6 minutes twice a day and you will be on the path to treat sciatica.
B-Cure’s patented laser penetrates tissues and triggers biostimulation processes. It stimulates endorphin release, relieving pain, increasing blood flow, and releasing nerve pressure.
