As a told you before this condition occur when the sciatic nerve is compressed and consequently it gets irritated and inflamed then you will get pain.
So what is causing the compression on the sciatica nerve? In simple words it is usually caused by spinal disc herniation, so when there is a herniated intervertebral disc the vertebra collapses over one of the branch that forms the sciatic nerve, narrowing the opening where the nerve comes out.
This is not the only reason why sciatica could appear, it also could be cause by other variants such as: •Spinal stenosis •Piriformis Syndrome •Slipped disk •Pelvic Fractures or injuries •Tumors •Pregnancy •Habits •Degenerative disk disease You could make different exercises and stretching routines to get sort of relief but the truth is that the pain usually keeps coming back, and you do not get any definitive sciatica relief, just temporal solutions.
