Cause #3: Spinal Stenosis
Spinal stenosis is a medical condition characterized by a narrowing of the spinal canal, which is the canal where the spinal cord passes through and travels down inside of the spine.
Degenerative disc diseases, trauma and damage to the intervertebral spaces, tumors growing inside the spinal canal, cysts growing inside the spinal canal, and any trauma to the spine can lead to a narrowing of the spinal canal and, as a consequence, to nerve root compression and sciatica.
