Low Back Origin Piriformis Syndrome

UNDERSTANDING YOUR SCIATIC PAIN

LOW BACK ORIGIN


BACK TO BODY

SCIATIC PAIN

LOW BACK ORIGIN

Sciatic pain, or sciatica, is pain, tingling, or numbness that can start from the low back, through the hip, and down the leg. What many don't know is that the symptoms they experience with sciatica may originate in the low back or sacrum.

The sciatic nerve has 5 roots, two from the lumbar area and three from the sacrum.

HOW CAN SITTING LEAD TO

SCIATIC PAIN- LOW BACK ORIGIN

Prolonged sitting in poor posture can lead to increased disc pressure in the low back which can result in:

  • Disc herniation
  • Disc degeneration
  • Spondylolisthesis
  • Stenosis

These conditions can result in sciatic nerve impingement at the nerve root, resulting in radiating pain, tingling, or weakness.

 

ANTHROS GUARANTEES TO IMPROVE YOUR PAIN

OR YOUR MONEY BACK

JOINT MISALIGNMENT

The adjustable two-part back aligns the body in neutral by allowing the user to customize their sit. 

By supporting the spine in an upright balanced posture Anthros reduces disc pressure and minimizes the risk of spinal root compression and sciatic pain of low back origin.  

 

MUSCLE IMBALANCES

The independently adjustable two-part back system aligns the body in a neutral posture by allowing the user to customize their sit.

By supporting the pelvis, then balancing the upper back, the effortless upright position reduces the risk of spinal root compression and sciatic pain.

"Dynamically changing the positions of the lumbar vertebrae and pelvis during sitting has been found to help reduce posture-related pain."

- Journal Of Physical Therapy Science

 

MUSCLE FATIGUE

Muscle fatigue occurs when you are holding your body in an upright position for long periods of time in sitting.

Standard recline causes a slouched posture and muscle imbalances.

Anthros allows you to relax in tilt.

This feature maintains your posture and reduces the risk of fatigued back muscles which can result in increased disc pressures and sciatic pain.

 

DISC PRESSURE

Traditional lumbar support does not prevent the pelvis from rotating backward which leads to slouched posture and increased disc pressure.

The adjustable low back pelvis support prevents backward rotation, decreasing the pressure on discs to 73 psi in upright sitting and down to 44 psi when tilting.

The Anthros pelvis support improves your posture while reducing your risk for disc injury and sciatic pain.
