Back Pain Treatment
Overview
Back pain in simple terms is pain at the lower end of spine in the area between lower margins of ribs and the lower gluteal folds. Sciatica is a term used for pain radiating down from the lower spine to the legs.
It is pain felt in the back that usually originates from the muscles, nerves, bones, joints or other structures in the spine. Back pain may have a sudden onset or can be a chronic pain; it can be constant or intermittent, stay in one place or radiate to other areas.
Most common cause of sciatica is irritation or compression of the nerves as they exit the spine on their way to the lower limbs. It may be accompanied by numbness, tingling and weakness in the distribution of the involved nerve.
