WHAT IS SCIATICA?
Beginning in the lower back and extending down the hips, buttocks, legs, and feet, the sciatic nerve is the biggest nerve in the body. The hallmark of sciatica is pain that radiates down one or both legs from the lower back or buttocks.
CAUSES OF SCIATICA
- Disc herniation
- Severe wound
- Frequent deterioration
- Unpleasant movement that temporarily exposes the spine
- Disc bulging in the lower lumbar spine is putting pressure on the nerve.
- Tight muscles, such as the piriformis muscle, which is found in the buttocks and close to the top of the hip joint, can put pressure on the nerve
