Sciatica
Sciatica is a common term used to describe any pain which is radiating from lower back to the legs. This is the pain which runs along the course of the sciatic nerve from back to the legs, compression of this nerve leads to the radiating pain. There can be many contributing factors leading to compression of the nerve and it can keep getting worsened if we do not treat the root cause.
Causes and Symptoms
Herniated disc
Displacement of the disc from its place causing compression of the nerves in the lumbar region can lead to pain radiating down the legs.
