Lumbar Radiculopathy, also known as Sciatica, is a medical term used for a herniated (bulging, torn or slipped) disc. Injury can occur from long-term wear, direct blows or falls and even aging. Herniated discs from a tear, crack or bulging can place pressure on surrounding nerves, causing sever back pain.

The bones in your spine, known as vertebrae, are located from the neck to the bottom of your back. The discs act as a natural shock absorber between the vertebrae. When a disc is herniated it can cause a number of problems and pain for the individual.
