The Pain In The Butt - Understanding Sciatica

The next episode of the podcast is now live and available for download on all platforms. In today’s episode, I talk about sciatica — that sharp, shooting pain that starts in your lower back or buttock and travels down your leg. If you’ve ever felt it, you know it’s no joke. We’ll break down what sciatica actually is (hint: it’s not a diagnosis, it’s a symptom), what causes it, how to tell if you might have it, and — most importantly — what you can do to relieve it. From herniated discs to piriformis syndrome, we cover the most common causes, home remedies, and when it's time to call a doctor. Whether you sit too much, lift too heavy, or just woke up one day wondering why your leg’s on fire — this episode has something for you. Listen now for real talk on nerve pain, recovery, and what your spine might be trying to tell you.
