Understanding Sciatica and Homeopathic Remedies
What is the Sciatic Nerve? The sciatic nerve is the longest in the body, starting from the spinal cord, running through the lower back, and extending into the lower leg. Sciatica is a condition where pain occurs in the sciatic nerve, often due to compression, irritation, or overgrowth along its path.
