A member asked:

Does popping a pelvis out cause sciatic pain?

No: Again, popping your pelvis out is not a medical term so it is hard to determine what you mean by this.

Yes: Popping the pelvis may cause compression of the sciatica nerve by the piriformis muscle as the sciatic nerve exits the pelvis. This is called piriformis syndrome.
