EDISCSCULPTThe sciatic nerve is one of the body's major nerves. It runs from the lower back down through the legs. Sciatica occurs when this nerve becomes pinched or inflamed, thus causing pain and/or neurological problems in the lower back and legs.
Sciatica is one of the most common back conditions around, and it can be caused by several different conditions, including:
Most of the time, the symptoms of sciatica can be treated non-surgically, using methods like physical therapy and steroid injections accompanied by long-term changes like regular exercise and weight loss. This is preferable to surgical treatment, because even the most minimally invasive surgery comes with risks, costs, and a recovery period.
In some cases, the compression of the sciatic nerve is so severe that these measures are not enough. For decades, the only way to surgically treat sciatica was to open up the spine and perform invasive procedures with a long recovery time. Now, laser technology allows for the use of laser spine surgery, a minimally invasive procedure that is appropriate for most forms of sciatica.
