Understanding Sciatica

Sciatica is characterized by pain that radiates along the sciatic nerve, typically from your lower back through your hips and down the back of each leg. This pain can range from a mild ache to a sharp, shooting sensation.

Symptoms of Sciatica

Here are some of the most common symptoms of sciatica:

• Pain: This is the most common symptom of sciatica. The pain can vary in intensity, from a mild ache to a sharp, shooting pain. It often starts in the lower back and radiates down the back of the leg, sometimes all the way to the foot.   
• Numbness or tingling: This can occur in the affected leg, foot, or toes.
• Weakness: This can make it difficult to move the affected leg or foot.   
• Difficulty moving: This can make it difficult to stand up, walk, or sit for long periods of time.

Causes of Sciatica

Several factors can contribute to sciatica, including:

• Herniated disc: A ruptured disc in your spine can press on the sciatic nerve.
• Spinal stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal can irritate the nerve.
• Piriformis syndrome: Tightness in the piriformis muscle, located deep in your buttocks, can compress the sciatic nerve.
