Leg pain while sitting is a common experience for many people and one that can impact productivity and focus at work. This condition can be caused by several factors, including sciatica and piriformis syndrome.
Sciatica is a condition characterized by pain in the lower back that radiates down to the leg, resulting from the compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve. Piriformis syndrome is another condition that can cause leg pain while sitting, where the piriformis muscle in the buttock’s region compresses the sciatic nerve. Both these conditions can lead to sharp, shooting, or burning pain in the leg, which can be aggravated by sitting.
Apart from sciatica and piriformis syndrome, poor circulation due to conditions such as varicose veins and peripheral artery disease can also cause leg pain while sitting. Overuse or muscle strain caused by prolonged sitting, especially in an awkward position, can also lead to discomfort and pain in the legs.
Most chairs offer a lumbar support that is supposed to provide and maintain an upright posture. But have you noticed that it just doesn’t work?
That’s because the angle of the pelvis actually determines the position of the spine. If you’re sitting right now, you can see what I mean. Try rolling your pelvis backward and notice want happens to the spine. You should notice that it rounds into a “C” curve. Now roll the pelvis forward and notice how the spine follows into an upright position.
In order to maintain the upright position, the pelvis needs to be supported to keep it from rolling backward!
