What is Sciatica?
Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which extends from your lower back through your hips and buttocks and down each leg. It usually affects only one side of the body.
The pain is often caused by a herniated disk, bone spur on the spine, or narrowing of the spine (spinal stenosis) compressing part of the nerve. This can cause inflammation, pain, and often
some numbness in the affected leg.
