Sciatica - What You Need to Know
The Basics of Sciatica
Sciatica is a common condition that can cause debilitating pain. It occurs when the sciatic nerve, which is the longest nerve in the human body, gets compressed or irritated. The sciatic nerve starts in the lower back and extends down through the buttocks, hips, and legs. When this nerve becomes inflamed, it can result in excruciating pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness along its pathway.
Symptoms and Causes
The hallmark symptom of sciatica is radiating pain that starts in the lower back and travels down the leg. This pain can vary in intensity and may be accompanied by other sensations such as tingling or numbness. Common causes of sciatica include:
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Spinal stenosis
- Vertebral misalignment
- Pregnancy
- Muscle spasms
