Sciatica & Disc Problems
Sciatica & Disc Problems refer to conditions involving the spine and nerves, often causing pain, numbness, or weakness—especially in the lower back, buttocks, and legs.
1. Sciatica is caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back down each leg. It often results in sharp, shooting pain, tingling, or burning sensations along the nerve path.
2. Disc Problems, such as herniated discs or slipped discs, occur when the soft inner material of a spinal disc bulges or leaks out, pressing on nearby nerves. This can lead to back pain, leg pain (sciatica), and restricted movement.
