Sciatica Treatment in Elizabethtown, KY

Find Relief with Commonwealth Pain & Spine Elizabethtown

Sciatica is a condition characterized by pain that radiates along the sciatic nerve, typically from the lower back down through the hip and into the leg. This pain can range from a mild ache to a sharp, shooting sensation. It's often caused by compression of the sciatic nerve, frequently due to a herniated disc or spinal stenosis.

Symptoms of Sciatica

The primary symptom of sciatica is pain, but other symptoms may include:

  • Numbness or tingling in the affected leg or foot
  • Weakness in the affected leg or foot
  • Difficulty moving the affected leg or foot

Common Causes of Sciatica

  • Herniated Disc: A herniated disc occurs when the soft center of a disc in your spine bulges or ruptures, putting pressure on the sciatic nerve.
  • Spinal Stenosis: This condition occurs when the spinal canal narrows, putting pressure on the nerve roots that form the sciatic nerve. Spinal stenosis is more common in older adults.
  • Piriformis Syndrome: The piriformis muscle is located deep in the buttocks and can sometimes compress the sciatic nerve, causing sciatica-like symptoms.
