Sciatic pain is very treatable with the right form of exercise
Tuesday, November 18th, 2008Sciatic Pain is not a condition, but instead a symptom that presents with several different conditions. Often, the pain associated with sciatica is worse than the condition that is causing it. Sciatic pain is found in two main age groups, the younger adult and the older adult. The causes of the problem are different in the two groups. Sciatic pain is a disabling symptom that commonly occurs in degenerative lumbar spine disorders or from herniated discs. Sciatica is characterized by pain in the low back or buttock which radiates down the leg.
Sciatic pain is created when a damaged area of the spine puts pressure on the sciatic nerve . Sciatic pain is also linked to the disks of the lower spine. Sciatic pain usually occurs when the disc prolapse presses on the sciatic nerve. Sciatica pain is manifested by pain going to the buttock usually on one side or the other. The pain may irradiate to the knee or lower leg to the foot indicating a more severe sciatic irritation.
