Cranial nerves relay information between the head, neck and brain. These nerves originate from our brain or brain stem.

Sciatica is defined as pain that radiates along the sciatic nerve, referring down one or both legs and often starting in the lower back. It is usually caused by a herniated disc or spinal degeneration compressing or irritating the nerve.
Risk factors for sciatica include:
-Inactive lifestyle
-Prolonged periods of sitting daily
-Age
-Obesity

It is usually treated conservatively through physical therapy, massage and pain medication.

Happy Diwali to all my patients
