Sciatica

Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, typically from the lower back into the buttock and down one leg. It is often associated with lumbar disc bulges, herniations, spinal stenosis, or nerve compression in the lower spine.

Symptoms may include sharp or burning leg pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness depending on the level of nerve involvement.

Lumbar Disc and Nerve Compression

Sciatica frequently occurs when lumbar discs or spinal structures compress nearby nerve roots. Structured lumbar braces may help reduce mechanical stress during flare-ups.

Radiating Leg Pain

Unlike localized back strain, sciatica typically involves pain that travels below the knee. Supportive devices are often used alongside guided rehabilitation programs.

Traction and Alignment Support

Lumbar traction devices may be recommended under professional supervision to help reduce compression forces contributing to nerve irritation.
