provides a comprehensive look at the who, what, when and how of Sciatica
Sciatica definition - medical term
Pain resulting from irritation of the
sciatic nerve,
typically felt from the low back to behind the thigh and radiating
down below the knee. While sciatica can result from a herniated disc directly pressing on the
nerve, any cause of irritation or inflammation of this nerve can
reproduce the painful symptoms of sciatica. Diagnosis is by
observation of symptoms, physical and nerve testing, and sometimes by
X-ray or MRI if a herniated disk is suspected.
Treatment options
include avoiding movements that further irritate the condition,
medication, physical therapy, and sometimes surgery.
