Understanding Sciatica
What is Sciatica? Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which extends from your lower back through your hips and down each leg.
Common Symptoms:
Sharp, burning, or shooting pain in the lower back, buttock, or leg
Numbness or tingling sensations
Muscle weakness in the affected leg or foot
Pain that worsens with prolonged sitting or sudden movements
Potential Causes of Sciatica
Herniated or Bulging Discs: Discs that protrude can compress nearby nerves, leading to sciatic pain.
Spinal Stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal can put pressure on the sciatic nerve.

Spondylolisthesis: A condition where one vertebra slips over another, potentially pinching the nerve.
Piriformis Syndrome: The piriformis muscle, located in the buttocks, can irritate the sciatic nerve if it spasms or becomes tight.
