What is Sciatica and how did i get it ?
Sciatica is often related to an underlying spinal issue. The most common cause is nerve compression, spinal misalignment, or a herniated lumbar disc. In fact, majority of sciatica cases stem from the result of spinal disc herniation. These muscles may become tight, or you may experience a spasm in the muscles.
How do you know if you have sciatica?
