Back pain can be an unfavorable aspect of life for a number of people living in Muskegon. Sciatica is a term that describes symptoms of pain that are felt in the lower back and buttocks, often radiating down the back of the leg and to the foot. If you are experiencing back pain in the city of Muskegon it is possible your pain is from sciatica.

Generally sciatica is caused by the compression or irritation of the nerve roots that make up what is known as the sciatic nerve. This nerve runs from your spinal cord to your buttocks and hip area, then down the back of each leg, thus sciatica can also be felt as weakness, tingling, and numbness in the leg. It is more frequently found in people over the age of 30 due the wear and tear on the lower spine that the body experiences as it ages.

The conditions that cause sciatica in Muskegon, Michigan can be varied. Treatment and symptoms also vary from patient to patient.
