What’s the Difference Between Chronic Back Pain and Sciatica?

Published April 26, 2013

Question by Murrin: What’s the difference between chronic back pain and sciatica? I have been experiencing strong and consistent back pain for as long as I can remember (I am 25 now).

Last month, I started physical therapy and doing neck exercises. The doctor explained to me that these neck exercises are moving the pain to the back of my head, and eventually to my neck. When that happens, the pain should become more manageable/controllable (sorry if that explanation is a little off). She didn’t specify how the pain “moves” backwards, and becomes controllable. Can someone please explain this to me? Best answer: Read more... ...
