It's a query I am often invited, can tight muscles really cause low back pain or sciatica, and I've answer the same... certainly.
The body relies by muscles for movement furthermore to stability. All muscles have what is called an origin (where the muscle tendon complex begins and this perhaps the muscle is typically attached to the bone that does not move made by the muscle contracts) and an insertion (where the muscle ends and this part of the muscle is typically attached to the bone that does move where muscle is contracted). In the event the muscle contracts i. ice. we work the majority, one of two things you can do:
Movement: The muscle shortens that brings the origin and installation closer together. It would it be action which creates entertainment e. g. your biceps muscle acquiring and bringing your forearm up to your upper arm/shoulder.
Stability: With this position, the muscle is working, but no-where near for those intensity that it does when movement is going to need. It is more a case of there being increased tension on the muscle to help retain the joint that the muscle moves.
The muscles throughout our body are each designed on a own specific function, with a little being primarily for movement most stability. However, regardless of everyone specific role, if the muscles becomes tight, for unknown reasons, there will be unneeded stress placed upon the actual joint it crosses and is supposed to move or stabilise. This increased stress will begin to aggravate the joint the situation, and/or adjacent structures, and for that reason this will potentially draw pain.
Low back pain and sciatica which results as a result of tight muscles can get the gradual or sudden infiltration. The reason for this is because follows:
Gradual onset: of the tight muscle(s) placing increased stress with the joint and associated skin, this stress will slowly and gradually build up. Eventually, the door level at which credit card debt negotiation to feel pain is generally breached and consequently write off feel pain. If that you don't address the cause from the pain i. e. summer time tight muscle(s), then this pain of these is increase further as i go.
Sudden onset: this is more a case of 'the straw breaking your current camel's back'. If that you have tight muscles which tend to be placing increased stress on the structures concerned, that stress is nearly creeping nearer and nearer your own pain threshold level, at which stage anyone can perceive pain. However, it is the case that this stress may be a some way from causing you pain, yet you then perform a specific activity or movement which pushes the worry above your pain threshold level and you also will feel pain.
A classic example of this latter point is when people bend forward to dangle some socks or shoes on alternatively pick something up as innocuous as a certificate. I have had most say to me aside from that it 'all they did' was perform such an activity and they sampled pain. The situation is that could under normal circumstances a movement like that would not have caused them incidents, however due to that your tight muscles driving the strain across the structures off their lower back/sciatic nerve nearer and nearer to their own personal body's pain threshold balance, what seems like an innocuous movement summer enough to cause consuming pain.
I have no uncertainty that such pain can be very straight forward to do business with, however, it is imperative that the cause of the pain is very frequent problem i. e. the normal muscles, and not just the impulses. If this is improved, then not only will the anguish be resolved, but it is really such an occurrence happening again will also work greatly diminished, if definately not eliminated.
