Overcoming scoliosis can be difficult for everyone, especially for athletes. However, there are many successful athletes who manage scoliosis and continue to excel in their sports. Here are some things you can do to overcome scoliosis as an athlete:
The sciatica nerve, the thickest and longest nerve in the human body, originates in the lower back and extends down to the knee. When this nerve is compressed, it can create pain that extends from your lower back down into your legs as well, and can become a big interruption in everyday life. Sciatica nerve pain is a key indicator of a larger problem. Depending on the underlying cause, a discectomy, laminectomy, or spinal fusion could be the solution to resolving it. Don’t let recurring or chronic sciatica nerve pain prevent you from performing day-to-day activities.

The term Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which runs through your lower back, hips, buttocks, and down each leg. Sciatica pain can be very wide. It could be a mild or sharp pain, a burning sensation, or discomfort. Sciatica is usually caused by a herniated disk, bone spur on the spine, or narrowing of the spine. Sciatica tends to affect only one side of the body and causes numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness.
