The term of Sciatica gets tossed around to cover a wide variety of things that are a pain in the ass. But it's really a very specific diagnosis with a wide range of treatments.

In this episode of What the Health?!, Dr. Dan, Dr. Riley, and Angela discuss the common misconceptions about sciatica including emphasizing that not all butt pain is sciatica; true sciatica involves pain that radiates down the leg past the knee. The team emphasizes the importance of differential diagnosis and getting to the root cause of pain rather than just treating symptoms, treatment options, and when surgery might be necessary. If you're wondering if you're dealing with sciatica or just another pain in the ass, this episode is definitely worth a listen.
