musculoskeletal disorder Introduction

Sciatica: Imagine a fiery nerve running down your leg – that’s sciatica. It’s caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, often due to a herniated disc or bone spur in your lower spine.

Spondylitis: This isn’t one, but a group of inflammatory conditions affecting the spine, like ankylosing spondylitis. Think of it as your immune system mistakenly attacks your joints, causing pain, stiffness, and even fusion of the vertebrae.
