Sciatica Treatment Brisbane
Get sciatica pain relief
Sciatica Pain is caused when the Sciatic nerve becomes irritated. This irritation is a result of a wide range of causes, ranging from poor spinal alignment, damaged discs to injury and pregnancy. The sciatic nerve is a large nerve which runs from the base of the spine through the buttock and down the back of the leg. This nerve controls the sensation and function of the leg and foot. Sciatic nerve pain can also be caused by arthritis, a herniated disc in the lower back or spinal tumours.
