Sciatica is low back pain combined with pain through the buttock and down one leg. The pain sometime goes down to the knee and as far as the foot. Some of the most common causes include disc herniation, a tight muscle (piriformis syndrome) or wear and tear in the spine. I've written more on sciatica causes and treatments on our clinic blog. Feel free to have a read!
