Surgery For Sciatica Nerve

Your sciatic nerve is extremely important to your function, as it starts in the lower spine and splits into several different nerves in the legs and lower body. Sciatica is the term given to any number of spinal conditions that cause pain. When pain occurs due to sciatica, it radiates down the nerve and results in pain running from the lower back into the legs. Sciatica can be debilitating, as it can make walking, sitting, or even resting painful. There are some conservative treatments to treat sciatica issues, but surgery for sciatica pain can be an extremely effective way for patients on Long Island to alleviate the debilitating pain it can cause.
