Herniated or slipped disc (herniated nucleus pulposus). This is by far the most common cause of sciatica Narrowing of the spinal canal that puts pressure on or pinches the fibers that make up the sciatic nerve Slippage of one vertebra so that it is out of line with those above or beneath it (spondylolisthesis) Abnormality of the nervous system itself, so that nerve fibers don't transmit signals properly, especially to feet and calves (neuropathy)

Sciatic is pain in the back that runs down the back of the leg. It is caused from irritation of the sciatic nerve itself or from pinching of the spinal nerves which form the sciatic nerve. Chiropractic care is a logical conservative approach to this condition. Reducing the irritation of the nerve by realigning the vertebrae reducing the joint, muscle and nerve tension helps many sciatic patients. Surgery is recommended when necessary, but can usually be prevented. See similar questions...

MEN, unfortunately, experience a more dramatic, specific pattern of hair loss commonly termed "Male Pattern Baldness." This loss is caused by dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is the resulting product of direct contact between the enzyme 5-alphareductase (normally found in the skin and scalp) and the hormone testosterone. DHT binds to receptor sites on the scalp and hair follicles, interacting and interrupting the normal chain of events involved in continual healthy hair growth. See similar questions...

Mortality of young piglets is generally high and is mainly due to starvation and separation from their mothers. Virtually all piglets in an area will die when conditions are poor such as during droughts.

Adult mortality varies from 15% to 50% and is caused mainly by starvation and human intervention. Few adults live past five years of age in western NSW. See similar questions...
