How do I Stretch the Sciatic Nerve in the Left Leg?
The condition sciatica comes from the body’s longest and largest nerve, which is called the sciatic nerve. This nerve runs from the lower back down the back of the legs. The sciatic nerve sends signals to the brain and commands the movement of muscles in the legs and thighs. The condition sciatica is caused by the nerve becoming inflamed and irritated. This condition affects, most commonly, people 30 to 50 years old. The pain from sciatica is usually located down one side of the lower back area and in one leg. Occasionally, pain may continue down to the foot and toes, and for some this condition is quite debilitating.
