What is Sciatica?

Sciatica | Max Physiotherapy | Physiotherapy, Chiropractic, Massage and Health & Wellness Clinic | NE Calgary

The largest nerve in the body, the sciatic nerve starts in the lower back and runs down the hips, buttocks, legs, and feet. Sciatic pain is characterized by pain that originates in the lower back or buttock, and travels through your hips and down one or both legs.
