It starts in the back but the real misery travels — a hot, electric line down your buttock, through the thigh, sometimes all the way to the foot. Sciatica has a way of hijacking sitting, standing and sleeping all at once.
That leg pain usually traces back to the spine. Here is why — and how Discus Compositum fits into the picture.
Why nerve-root pain shoots down the leg
The sciatic nerve runs from your lower spine right down the leg, so trouble at the root travels far.
- An irritated nerve root where it leaves the spine sends pain down the whole line.
- Disc pressure in the lower back can crowd that exit point.
- Tight surrounding tissue adds to the squeeze and the ache.
The short version: the leg pain starts at the spine — support the discs and calm the nerve line.
