Sciatica and Sciatic Nerve Treatment
To attempt any sciatic nerve treatment we must first know what sciatica is.
Sciatica, technically is a symptom of a condition and not a condition in and of itself. The most common definition of this symptom is “pain running down the back of the leg.”
Because sciatica is only a symptom, it is obvious you will need to seek a qualified health care professional to get properly diagnosed and assessed before we can begin any sciatic nerve treatment.
What causes it?
To understand what causes sciatica, we must understand what it was that caused the condition that triggered the manifestation of the symptoms of sciatica in the first place.
To site an example, the patient may discover that he or she has sciatica because of a herniated disc. But in order to get relief, it is equally important to know why your disc became herniated.
