Sciatica Treatment in Buena Park, CA

Understanding Sciatica

Sciatica is a condition that causes pain and discomfort, often starting in the lower back or buttocks and radiating down to the legs and feet. It occurs when the sciatic nerve—the longest nerve in the body—becomes compressed or irritated, leading to symptoms like numbness, tingling, and difficulty standing or sitting for long periods. Common causes include herniated discs, spinal misalignment, or injuries that put pressure on the nerve.
