  • Pain: Sharp, shooting pain that radiates from the lower back down the leg.
  • Numbness: A loss of sensation in the affected leg or foot.
  • Weakness: Difficulty moving the affected leg or foot.
  • Tingling: A pins-and-needles sensation in the leg or foot.

Causes of Sciatica

Several factors can contribute to sciatica, including:

  • Herniated disc: A ruptured disc in the spine can press on the sciatic nerve.
  • Spinal stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal can put pressure on the nerve.
  • Piriformis syndrome: Tightness in the piriformis muscle, located deep in the buttocks, can irritate the sciatic nerve.
  • Spinal injury: Trauma to the spine can damage the nerve.
