The sciatic nerves branches from your lower back through your hips and buttocks and down every leg. Sciatica refers to pain that radiates on the trail of the static nerve, that branches from your lower back through your hips and buttocks and down each leg. Typically, it affects just one facet of your body.
Sciatica pain is triggered by an irritation, inflammation, pinching or compression of a nerve in the lower back. It's most common cause is slipped disk as it causes pressure on the nerve root. It could be treated with self-care, using heating packs, stretching exercises, etc.
