What is Sciatica?

Sciatica arises from the irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, the largest nerve in the body. This nerve originates in the lower back and travels through the hips and buttocks, extending down the back of each leg. When compressed, it can cause a wide range of symptoms, including:

• Pain: Sharp, shooting, burning, or aching pain that radiates from the lower back down the leg, often into the foot.
• Numbness: Loss of sensation in the affected leg, foot, or toes.
• Weakness: Difficulty lifting the foot or weakness in the leg muscles.
• Tingling: Pins and needles sensations in the leg or foot.

Causes of Sciatica

Sciatica can have various underlying causes, including:

• Herniated disc: A ruptured or bulging disc in the spine can put pressure on the sciatic nerve.
• Lumbar spinal stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal can compress the nerve roots.
• Piriformis syndrome: When the piriformis muscle, located deep in the buttocks, spasms or becomes inflamed, it can compress the sciatic nerve.
• Spinal stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal can compress the nerve roots.
• Degenerative disc disease: Wear and tear on the spinal discs can lead to nerve compression.
