Sciatica, also called sciatic or lumbosciatic neuritis, is a painful condition located in the area that runs through the sciatic nerve, the longest in the body, which extends from the lumbar part of the spine to the foot, crossing the buttock, thigh and leg.
Biological decoding of sciatica – Insecurity and Repressed Resentment
This discomfort breaks out in a very intense and violent way, normally in the hip; but it is felt especially in the lower back, in the gluteus, as well as in parts of the leg, ankle and foot.
In addition to the characteristic pain, sciatica can also present various symptoms, usually on only one side of the body, such as numbness in the foot or leg, muscle weakness, altered reflexes, a tingling sensation, and difficulty moving the leg normally.
Most common causes of sciatica
One of the most common causes of sciatica is compression or pinching of the sciatic nerve itself. However, in most cases it is caused by compression and inflammation of the lumbar nerves, at the level of the L4 and L5 vertebrae, or of the sacral nerves (S2 S1 or S3).
Intervertebral discs have a ring of cartilage that separates the vertebrae so that the nerve roots can exit through the spaces between the L4, L5, and sacral vertebrae.
These discs have the primary utility of cushioning the forces that the spine supports.
However, the functionality of the intervertebral discs is lower when the pressure is applied in rotational movements, so some efforts made at certain angles can lead to the appearance of vertebral disc herniations.
In these cases, the ring of disc fibers breaks and the fluid invades external areas, compressing the nerve root against the lamina of the vertebra and thereby causing intense pain.
This sciatica, caused by pressure from a herniated disc, usually subsides when the disc tear and inflammation cease. Other times, sciatica is caused by the presence of tumors whose location affects the spinal cord or nerve roots.
In these cases, symptoms such as severe back pain up to the hip and, more rarely, loss of urinary continence or bowel control are common.
The pregnancy
It is also frequently associated with sciatica pain. The physical changes that take place during pregnancy can cause the uterus to press on the sciatic nerve; but also vertebral compression from the additional weight of the fetus and postural changes can lead to the appearance of sciatica.
Another common cause of sciatica is vertebral compression caused by spinal stenosis, that is, by the narrowing of the spinal canal, either due to a herniated disc or the appearance of bone spurs. This narrowing compresses the spinal cord and irritates the roots of the sciatic nerve.
The biological decoding of sciatica
It must be approached from the understanding of the meaning and biological utility of the parts of the body in which it most commonly manifests itself: the lower back and the legs.
The person who suffers discomfort in the lower back (lumbar and sacral region) is because he is immersed in situations and conflicts that he feels threaten his life, his capacity for action and even his survival.
Sciatica expresses fear of facing changes
It usually occurs in people who feel safe managing their lives within the foreseeable; accustomed to scenarios that are familiar to them, but who lose their usual stability and security when important changes are coming or when they have to make far-reaching decisions.
If the sciatica affects the L5 and S1 vertebrae, the conflictive situation is related to collaterals (siblings, partner, lover, etc.).
On the other hand, when the pain is located at the level of the L4 and L5 vertebrae, conflicts related to social norms and rules that the person considers unfair and limiting for their life are more common.
When the pain involves the legs, it is because the conflictive situation that the person is experiencing affects, in general, their way of facing the future or advancing in life.
Fear of facing the new that life holds
Obstacles, fears and doubts that, symbolically, paralyze when it comes to making changes, mainly in the family and work environment.
This condition is also usually manifested in people with economic problems or fear of lack of material goods (housing, food, money, etc.); that is, another way of feeling uncertainty and mistrust regarding the future of life.
This fear of material lack can become distressing and cause anxiety. The person questions her abilities and can fall into a spiral of insecurity and even resentment towards life.
If the affected leg is the right, it may be because of or not being able to meet financial needs and commitments.
On the other hand, when the affected leg is the left, it is likely that the person feels anguish and impotence due to lacking sufficient material resources to be able to help people around them who are going through situations of need.
Hidden emotional conflict in cases of sciatica
It is possible to establish nuances about the hidden emotional conflict in cases of sciatica if we look at which part of the nerve the pain is located.
When the pain is more intense in the area of the buttock, a fear on the part of the person of loss of power is evident, be it merely economic or of social position and prestige, that is, conflicts usually in the professional field.
The underlying fear, deep down, is the loss of identity. However, when the painful area is in the thigh or leg, there may be conflicts regarding future projects.
Sciatica in the thigh or leg shows that the person faces, feels and suffers situations with . It can also express that some support or collaboration that we expected has not arrived and we feel disappointed, betrayed.
Frequently, this ailment expresses repressed anger, aggressiveness and resentment against someone or something to which we refuse to submit. Other times, sciatica affects people who take on more loads and responsibilities than they can bear.
People unable to say no to anything or anyone because they need to feel the affection and recognition of others. People, therefore, with low self-esteem.
Emotional of a sexual nature
Sciatica can also be caused by emotional conflicts of a nature, especially sexuality outside the norm, such as an excessive age difference in the couple or incestuous relationships.
In these cases, there are usually transgenerational memories of conflicts of a sexual nature that occurred in the three or four previous generations of the family clan.
The person who accesses therapy to biodecode their sciatica must be willing to embark on a search path to become aware of which of the situations described are or have recently been altering the normal development of their life.
What events are undermining your confidence or reducing your security. You must do an exercise in sincerity to admit what facts cause you fear or uncertainty.
You have to assume that it is not possible to always be perfect; Give yourself the right to be powerless in certain situations without feeling guilty about it. In short, learning to express their sorrows, their doubts and their fears.
You need to pay attention to your internal dialogue to regain control of your life, let off steam, and free yourself from unnecessary ties.
In this way, you will be on the right track to be able to definitively deactivate the emotional conflicts that have been fueling your sciatica and make this condition become just a bad memory.
