Sciatic pain travels along the sciatic nerve which runs through the lower back, hips, and buttocks and down each leg.
Usually sciatica will only affect one side of the body. It commonly happens when a herniated disk or bone spur on the spine compresses on the nerve. This causes inflammation, pain and some numbness.
In most cases sciatica can be resolved with conservative treatment. Pain can range from a mild ache to excruciating discomfort. May feel worse if you cough or sneeze or sit for long periods of time.
Conservative methods such as Myotherapy are recommended as treatment of sciatic pain.
