Understanding Sciatica Pain

Sciatica refers to pain caused by irritation, compression, or inflammation of the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the body and runs from the lower back through the hips and down each leg. Sciatica symptoms often include sharp pain, burning, tingling, numbness, or weakness that radiates down the leg.

In many cases, sciatica is caused by spinal disc problems or joint restrictions in the lumbar spine that place pressure on nerve roots. Treatment focuses on reducing the pressure and improving spinal function so the nerve can heal.

Common Symptoms of Sciatica

Sciatica symptoms can look different depending on which nerve roots are affected. Common symptoms include:

• Pain that radiates from the low back into the hip or leg
• Burning or tingling down the leg
• Numbness in the foot or toes
• Worsening pain when sitting for long periods
• Weakness in the leg
