Although definitions vary, sciatic pain is generally defined as back-related pain radiating to the leg (normally below the knee and into the foot and toes) and is one of the commonest variations of low back pain. Patients with sciatica typically experience a more persistent and severe type of pain, a less favorable outcome, consume more healthcare resources and have more prolonged disability and absence from work than those with low back pain alone. Managing Sciatica and Radiculopathies in Primary Care Practice provides a comprehensive, up-to-date overview of the subject and key information for primary care practitioners about low back pain in patients, including definitions and causes, current management approaches, diagnostic and treatment algorithms, as well as clinical practice guidelines Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes Online resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed November 18, 2013) Subject Backache -- Treatment Backache -- Diagnosis Sciatica -- Treatment Sciatica -- Diagnosis Back Pain -- diagnosis Sciatica -- diagnosis Back Pain -- therapy Sciatica -- therapy MEDICAL -- Surgery -- General.
