What department should sciatica see

summary

When it comes to sciatica, I believe everyone has a certain understanding, because this disease is very common in our life. If you have symptoms of sciatica in daily life, you need to see a doctor as soon as possible. There are many methods for the treatment of sciatica in clinic, such as etiological treatment, surgical treatment, adjuvant treatment, exercise therapy and so on. Patients with sciatica can get the best treatment effect only by symptomatic treatment according to their own conditions, so some patients put forward what department should sciatica see.

What department should sciatica see

First: abnormal curvature: attention should be paid to whether there are spinal deformities, such as scoliosis. Scoliosis in patients with nerve root pain is mostly functional, which can be alleviated or disappeared in supine position. Kyphosis is commonly seen in vertebral compression fractures, while increased lordosis and disorder of spinous process often indicate spondylolisthesis. This is a common test for sciatica.

Second: spinal examination: tenderness point helps to identify the location and nature of the lesion, and is also a common examination method for sciatica. Taking lumbar disc herniation as an example, the tenderness points are mostly located near the spinous process in the intervertebral disc herniation space, which can radiate to the ipsilateral hip and lower limbs along the sciatic nerve. In addition, along the direction of the sciatic nerve can often find a clear tenderness point.

Third: we must pay attention to the relevant treatment when we check the neuralgia, so that we can live a healthier life. Experts will diagnose the pain according to the location and radiation direction of the pain, the factors that aggravate the pain, the pain reducing posture, the traction pain and tenderness points, and can only treat symptomatically after determining the cause.
