What Is Sciatica? The Real Path of Sciatic Nerve Pain Sciatica isn't just simple back pain—it's caused by irritation or compression of the longest, widest nerve in your body. Starting from your lower spine (L4, L5, and S1), the sciatic nerve travels down through your buttock, thigh, knee, and...

The largest nerve in your body might be behind that shooting pain down your leg. Meet the sciatic nerve. It runs from the hip, down the back of the thigh and lower leg, into the foot, and it is built from five spinal levels: L4, L5, S1, S2, and S3. So a herniated disc at L4 or L5 can affect those contributions. But S1 to S3 are not off the hook. A disc that herniates laterally presses on the nerve exiting at that level, while one that herniates posteriorly, straight back toward the midline, pushes into the spinal canal where the lower roots still run. Press on those and you get sciatica: shooting pain down the leg into the foot, numbness, tingling, even muscle weakness. Want anatomy like this live with our team?

Tried Everything For Sciatica? Do This Instead X Massages, foam rolling, and stretching your leg may feel good... But they only provide temporary relief Because sciatica is usually NOT a leg problem It's often a low back problem If you only treat where the pain is... You'll never fix what's causing it This sciatic nerve opener helps reduce pressure on the nerve, improve mobility, and target the source of your pain That's why it can reduce your sciatica much faster than passive treatments This will help reduce your pain...

Sciatica isn’t back pain—it's leg pain from nerve irritation. Try reverse lumbar extensions and seated nerve flossing to ease symptoms.

What’s Causing Your Sciatica? Whether it’s shooting down the back, side, or front of your leg - it all points to which nerve root is irritated.

1️⃣ lean onto a wall with the painful leg inside, dip your hip to the side until you feel a release on your sciatic nerve. Perform 8 to 10 reps aiming to sink deeper with each rep. 2️⃣ Roll up a towel or use a foam roller and lay on it with the painful leg facing up. This will help increase the space inside of your intervertebral disc and release the pressure of your sciatic nerve. #sciatica #sciaticarelief #backpain

The sciatic nerve can be a relentless source of pain especially since it’s not always clear what the best movements to do for it are. But these types of movements find their way into all of the sciatica patients that I see. #physicaltherapy

💥 Sitting Making Your Sciatica Worse? ❌ It’s not just “sitting too much” causing your pain… It’s often the position your spine stays in while sitting. When your pelvis rolls backward, your lower back rounds forward. That can increase stress on the disc and irritate the sciatic nerve. 🔑 Step 1: Improve Your Pelvic Support Better pelvic support can help keep your pelvis and lower back in a more comfortable position while sitting. That’s why we love the setup from @anthroschair. If you don’t have one, even a towel or water bottle behind your pelvis can be a simple temporary option. But sitting better alone won’t fix the problem long term. You still need movement. Restoring hip and lumbar extension can help your back handle the stress of long periods of sitting. Don’t avoid movement. Restore it. ✅ Want a structured long-term plan specific to YOUR body? DM me the word “TIKTOK” on my Instagram @rehabfix, and get a free back pain fix demo with my team! . . 👣 follow @rehabfix . . . #backpain #sciatica #lowbackpain #anthroschair #spinehealth

l've got your back — literally! A solid grasp of lumbar spine anatomy is essential to be able to find pathology and be accurate in reporting. You need to know where the nerve roots lie in the central canal and neural foramina to know when they are compressed. And you need to know your disc nomenclature to accurately describe the pathology This video shows you the anatomy and nomenclature you NEED to know! Because when your anatomy knowledge is weak, your reports can really be a pain in the back!
