Neurosurgeon Dr. Jack Moriarity joins us to discuss a common, but misunderstood condition called Sciatica.
Sciatica is a condition that can affect up to 40% of the population at some time during their lifetime. Essentially, it is an irritation of the sciatic nerve that can manifest itself in a number of different ways from the lower back and through the legs. As it is such a common condition, we asked NewSouth NeuroSpine neurosurgeon, Dr. Jack Moriarity to educate us on this condition that can become extremely painful and debilitating.
