Back pain and sciatica are common spine-related conditions that can affect daily activities, mobility, and overall quality of life. Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve becomes compressed or irritated, causing pain that radiates from the lower back to the legs. Advanced diagnosis and treatment help relieve pain, improve movement, and support long-term spine health.
