Characterized by pain that radiates from the lower back down through the legs, sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve is compressed or irritated. Traditional treatments for sciatica include physical therapy, medications, and in severe cases, surgery. However, a growing body of evidence suggests that cannabidiol (CBD), a non-psychoactive compound found in cannabis, can provide significant relief from sciatica pain.
