Insights into Back Pain and Sciatica
Back pain can originate from several sources, including muscle strain, ligament injuries, or disc problems. Sciatica is a specific type of pain caused by irritation or compression of the nerve roots that form the sciatic nerve, which runs from your lower back down through your buttocks and legs. When this nerve is affected, it can lead to pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness along its path.
