Sciatica Back Pain Causes Part 1

Sciatica Back Pain Causes: 1) Isthmic Spondylolisthesis.

Spondylolisthesis, though  not a very common sciatica back pain symptom, occurs when one vertebrae slips forward and places pressure on the adjacent vertebrae.

That symptom itself  though causing you back pain, it is not the underlying cause of sciatica back pain, rather your focus ought to be on exactly what caused the vertebrae to slip in the first place.

Once again, pay very close attention to the sequence of events, namely, you have sciatica back pain, behind that back pain is the symptom spondylolisthesis, and then behind that, is the culprit that caused a vertebrae to slip. What caused your vertebrae to slip is precisely one of the sciatica causes. So you have a neat case of the cause behind the cause, and that is why the medical profession miss it all the time, as their attention stops at the symptom.

This condition or symptom of  isthmic spondylolisthesis, if not corrected by addressing the exact cause, which made the vertebrae to slip, and instead masking sciatica back pain with pain drugs, then the condition will produce both a gradual deterioration of the vertebrae in your lower spine, and can also lead to a narrowing of the spinal canal.

As abnormal motion allow this vertebrae to move back and forth, nerves in the spinal canal may be affected causing more sciatica back pain, numbness, tingling or weakness in the legs.

The symptom or condition of spondylolisthesis is usually seen in the lower spine, and the slip usually occurs between the fourth and fifth lumbar vertebrae where there is the most curvature in the spine.  This is precisely an issue of your muscle imbalances as the exact  culprit in two ways:

1. Degenerative diseases are much more common in areas of the body where there is uneven pressure and wear and tear, (as in instances of arhritis.).

2. Your muscle group/s imbalances, which occur slowly ove time, do increase the amount of curvature in the lower spine region, thus making this condition much more likely to come about.

The other causes of spondylolisthesis include stress fractures - often caused by repetitive hyper-extension of the back, as for example in gymnastics sports - and traumatic fractures like falling off a horse or back injuriy accidents.

Your major take-away here, is that in most cases of sciatica back pain, muscle imbalances of specific muscle groups or a muscle group are  the main underlying cause of spondylolisthesis, and are at the core of sciatica causes, and ultimately your sciatica back pain.

Here is a personal saga with sciatica back pain.

If you're tired of doctors writing you off and not really caring whether or not you recover from sciatica back pain, then give this system a honest try, because it takes you to the sciatica causes.

My back was badly wrecked with sciatica pain, that I couldn't sit for long periods of time and when I awoke from a nights sleep, instead of being well-rested my aching back was there to remind me of the back pain that would be with me all day! That is when life sucks.

The doctors couldn't help or did not want to take the time to get to the bottom of my back pain. And so I took matters in my own hands and came across this website that zeroes in on the cause, the sciatica causes as well as the pain relief.

I figured it couldn't hurt, and the view of the LTBP program that back pain has more to do with muscle imbalances as the sciatica causes, brought on by a lifetime of abuse and neglect than anything else, made sense to me.

I am now four weeks into the program and my back has never felt better Even within a week I noticed a difference. If you don't think drugs are the answer and you want to take more control of your own heath, then give this system a shot, you'll be glad to naturally get rid of sciatica back pain, by correcting the exact sciatica causes."
