What is "Sciatica"
"Sciatica" refers to leg pain caused by irritation of the sciatic nerve.
The 2 most common reasons for sciatia are:
- Pinching of nerve roots (that combine to form the sciatic nerve) as they exit the spine, as commonly occurs during Lumbar Disc Injuries
- Pinching of the sciatic nerve due to an irritated or tight muscle (the piriformis muscle) in the buttocks region, causing a Piriformis Syndrome
