Managing Sciatica Pain

Join Dr. Daniel Fassett of Rothman Orthopaedics for an informative discussion on sciatica, a painful condition characterized by radiating pain along the path of the sciatic nerve. This nerve originates in the lower back, extends through the hips and buttocks, and travels down each leg. Sciatica commonly arises when a nerve root in the spine is compressed or irritated, often due to factors such as a herniated disk, a bone spur on the spine, or spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spine). Gain insights into the most effective treatment alternatives to alleviate pain and discomfort.
