Why You shouldn’t Ignore Sciatica Treatment

#

1. Pain Can Worsen Over Time

  • Sciatica often starts as intermittent discomfort, but untreated compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve can cause pain to become constant, more severe, and harder to manage.

2. Nerve Damage Risk

  • Prolonged pressure on the sciatic nerve can lead to permanent damage.
  • This may cause chronic pain, numbness, or weakness that does not improve even after treatment.

3. Mobility Limitations

  • Ignoring treatment can reduce flexibility and strength, making it harder to walk, stand, or sit for long periods.
  • Daily activities like bending, lifting, or driving can become difficult.

4. Muscle Weakness & Atrophy

  • The sciatic nerve controls muscles in the leg and foot.
  • Without treatment, weakness may progress to muscle atrophy, affecting balance and coordination.

5. Possible Loss of Bladder or Bowel Control (Severe Cases)

  • In rare but serious cases (cauda equina syndrome), untreated sciatica can cause loss of bladder/bowel function—this is a medical emergency.
