Sciatica (also known as lumbar radioculopathy) is a condition that causes pain, weakness, or tingling to the lower back, legs, and feet. Sciatica affects people between the ages 30 and 50. About 80% to 90% of those with sciatica are able to recover without the need for surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The spinal column protects and encases the spinal cord as it travels from the brain to other parts of the body. Nerve roots, which are large nerves that branch out from the spinal cord and exit the spine to travel out to other parts of our bodies, are called nerve branches. The sciatic nerves run from the lumbar spine to the back of your legs. They are the longest and thickest nerves in your body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
