Sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the body which originates from the sacral plexus, formed by the roots (anterior rami) of spinal nerves L4– L5 and S1–S4. Sciatica is a type of Lumbar Radicular Pain (LRP)1 and is the most common form of back pain, caused by compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve. The typical presentation of sciatica is a pain that extends from the buttock down the posterior and lateral aspect of the leg and the lateral aspect of the foot.
