Sciatica: Sciatica is a nerve root compression issue that can be caused by spinal problems that include a bulging or compressive disc, injury or destruction of the bony elements of the spinal bones, dislocation of the spinal bones that causes compression on the nerve roots, scoliosis of varying degrees, and even just being overweight with a big belly !
