Sciatica Treatment Doctors Specialists in NYC

What Are the Risk Factors for Sciatica?

About 40 percent of Americans experience sciatica in their lifetime. Age is a major risk factor. As you grow older, your body, especially your spine, changes, and it can pinch the nerve.

Other risk factors include:

Degenerative disc disease is a medical disorder caused by the wear and tear of your spine over the years. This wear-and-tear can result in injuring or impinging your sciatic nerve.

Obesity, along with a sedentary lifestyle, contributes toward the bones in your back losing flexibility and becoming stiff. The extra weight may cause pressure on your sciatic nerve.

Untreated diabetes, a result of obesity, causes a condition called diabetic neuropathy. High blood sugar damages the nerves in your extremities, especially your feet and toes.

Desk jobs and truck driving can adversely harm your spine from the long hours of sitting in one place.

Jobs that require heavy lifting or twisting your spine can also create problems that lead to sciatica. People complaining of acute or chronic lower back pain or hip pain have a high chance of getting exposed to sciatica disease.
