SCIATICA: Symptoms, Causes, Treatments & Self-Help Techniques - Dr. Gary Sy

Sciatica refers to pain that travels along the path of the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve travels from the lower back through the hips and buttocks and down each leg. Sciatica most often occurs when a herniated disk or an overgrowth of bone puts pressure on part of the nerve.
