Sciatic-pain also known as Sciatica is caused by compression and irritation of one of five nerve roots that are
branches of the sciatic nerve.
The pain is felt in the lower back, buttock, and various parts of the feet or legs.
In addition to pain, which is sometimes severe, there may be numbness, muscular weakness, and difficulty in moving or controlling a leg. Usually the symptoms are only felt on one side of the body.
Although sciatica is a relatively common form of low back pain and leg pain, the true meaning of the term often is misunderstood.
Sciatica is a set of symptoms rather than a diagnosis for what is irritating the root of the nerve, causing the pain. Treatments for sciatic symptoms often will be different, depending upon the Dr. or the originating cause.
