Sciatica is a condition that results when one or more of the nerves exiting the lower spine are compressed. This can cause pain, tingling, numbness and muscle weakness in the leg and foot. In some cases, sciatica can be so severe that it limits mobility.

The sacroiliac joints (SI joints) provide stability to your pelvis which protects it from injury or strain during everyday activities such as exercise or standing for long periods of time.
