Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the sciatic nerve, which extends from the lower back down the legs. Sciatica can be caused by a number of conditions, including herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and Piriformis syndrome. While sciatica can be extremely painful, there are a number of strategies that can be used to manage the pain and improve quality of life. These include exercise, stretching, massage, and heat/cold therapy. In some cases, medication or surgery may be necessary. However, many older adults are able to find relief with conservative treatment methods.
