If you suffer from sciatica that has become chronic then it is important to get a full examination and diagnosis from a qualified doctor. A very common cause of sciatica is having a herniated disc. This occurs when the central portion of the disc breaks away from the outer fibers and can press or irritate the nerves exiting the lower back. If you have recurrent symptoms or have any weakness in your leg then it is extremely important to find out what the cause is. A thorough examination and an MRI are the best ways to uncover the true cause.
