Sciatica Therapy- Back Surgery
May 31st, 2009 . by adminSciatica can be a severely painful condition. It is caused by inflammation of the sciatic nerve, a nerve which runs from the lower back through the hip and down the leg.
The sciatic nerve is the longest and largest in the body. It’s made up of five nerves that leave the spinal cord from the lower spinal column, join in the pelvic area and then travel down the leg. As it travels down the leg, it divides into smaller nerves that reach the muscles and joints of the thigh, knee, calf, ankle, foot and toes.
Among the Sciatica therapy, back surgery is one of the most commonly recommended in many of the cases. Back surgery, however, is not always successful and has a high risk of complications.
