One of the main reasons people suffer with low back pain and Sciatica is a “Pinched Nerve” in the low back. Pinched nerves are usually the result of a herniated or bulging disc in the lumbar spine at L5-S1.

When a nerve has pressure on it your body will let you know, in fact a study conducted on nerve pressure revealed that the weight of a postage stamp cut nerve signal down by 50%.

The Sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the body and allot of structures can put pressure on this sensitive nerve a partial list of things that can cause irritation to the Sciatic nerve include bulging or herniated discs,  spinal stenosis, disc degeneration and sometimes even muscles.

One common muscle that affects the Sciatic nerve is the Piriformis muscles it is a triangular shaped muscle in your buttocks region and when this muscle shortens or tightens it can produce a condition called “Piriformis syndrome” symptoms can include low back pain, numbness and or tingling down into the buttocks or legs, muscle stiffness and or spasms that get worse with time.
