Ask the Perth Chiropractor -What is Sciatica?

Perth chiropractor Dr. Eric Brukwinski of West Coast Family Chiropractic http://www.westcoastfamilychiropractic.com answers the question "what is a sciatica?"
The diagnosis of 'sciatica' means that there is inflammation of the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve supplies information about movements to the leg, and sends information about sensations back to the brain. The sciatic nerve is quite large, in fact, it is the largest peripheral nerve in the body.
