What Is Sciatia?
Pain in the lower back, hip, that progresses to the back of your legs could be a sign of a herniated disk, or Sciatia.
If you suddenly start feeling pain in your lower back or hip that radiates to the back of your thigh and into your leg, you may have a protruding (herniated) disk in your spinal column that is pressing on the nerve roots in the lumbar spine. This condition is known as sciatica.
You are most likely to get sciatica between the ages of 30 and 50 years. It may happen as a result of the general wear and tear of aging, plus any sudden pressure on the disks that cushion the bones (vertebrae) of your lower spine.
If this is you, please visit our website for more information and to schedule an appointment.
