Sciatica
The underlying cause of Sciatica is the building of pressure on the longest nerve in the human body called the Sciatica nerve. The pressure causes pain along the nerve, flowing from the lower back to the buttocks and the legs. Generally, it affects only one side of the body and is treatable through medication and surgery if required.
Symtoms:
- Pain in the lower back and along the nerves in the lower extremities.
- The patient might experience painful sensations behind the thigh and hip zone. The patient can also feel discomfort in the foot in the form of Paresthesia, burning or pain.
