    Sciatica is a pain in the back and legs caused by compression of the sciatic nerve as it exits the spine. Should I see a spine specialist or a spinal surgeon to take the appropriate tests and getting treatment for their pain. If you are not responding to conservative treatment could be a good candidate for steroid injections or back surgery . Today many back surgeries can be done with very small incisions producing less damage and faster recovery. Please see my HEALTH GUIDE for herniated lumbar discs or sciatica . Good Luck!
