Lower back pain affects millions of people worldwide, prompting many to seek medical imaging such as MRIs and X-rays for answers. But what happens when these sophisticated technologies reveal "problems" that have nothing to do with the actual source of pain? This disconnect is more common than most patients realize.

Understanding Sciatica: Causes and Solutions

That shooting pain running from your lower back down through your leg isn't just "back pain" – it's likely sciatica, a common but often misunderstood condition affecting millions worldwide. Unlike generalized back discomfort, sciatica follows a specific path along your sciatic nerve, the body's longest and widest nerve that runs from your lower spine through your buttocks and down each leg.
