Plain-English explanations from cited sources — and which specialists treat each one.
Sciatica
Sciatica is nerve pain that travels from the lower back through the buttock and down one leg. It happens when the sciatic nerve is irritated or compressed — most often by a slipped (herniated) disc. Most cases ease within a few weeks to a few months without surgery.
Lower back pain stretches
Gentle stretching and movement are a core part of how most low back pain is managed. This page gathers the stretches and exercises that the NHS and the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) include in their low back programmes — and the safety guidance that comes with them.
