Sciatica Treatment

Sciatica is a term used to describe symptoms of pain, numbness, and weakness that radiate along the sciatic nerve, which is the longest and widest nerve in the body. This nerve runs from the lower back, through the hips and buttocks, and down the legs. Sciatica is typically caused by compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve, often as a result of a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, or degenerative changes in the spine. The pain and other symptoms of sciatica can range from mild to severe, and can significantly impact a person's ability to perform daily activities and enjoy a good quality of life.
