Treating Your Leg Pain With State-of-the-Art Equipment
Before reviewing specific sciatica exercises, it is first important to explain what sciatica is, as the term is often misused and its definition often misunderstood. Sciatica is a set of symptoms rather than a diagnosis in itself (meaning it does not explain the cause of the pain). Sciatica is a general term used to explain a set of symptoms around the sciatic nerve. Technically, it refers to pain caused by compression or irritation of one or more nerves exiting the lower spine that make up the sciatic nerve, and there are a number of different conditions that can cause this.

The medical term for sciatica is radiculopathy, which means that the radicular nerve (nerve root) in the lower back is being irritated or pinched (e.g., by a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, or other lower back disorder). The sciatic nerve runs from the lower back through the back of each leg and branches off to parts of the leg and to the foot and toes. Sciatic pain can be experienced anywhere along this nerve route, including the low back, the buttocks, the backs of the thighs, the calves, the feet, or the toes.
