Sciatica pain

Sciatica pain is a condition characterized by pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which extends from the lower back through the hips and buttocks and down each leg. Typically, sciatica affects only one side of the body and can vary in intensity from mild to severe. It’s often accompanied by symptoms like inflammation, numbness, and muscle weakness.

Five common causes of sciatica include:

• Herniated Disc: This occurs when the soft inner material of a disc in the spine protrudes through the outer layer, pressing on the sciatic nerve. The pressure can cause significant pain and discomfort.
• Spinal Stenosis: The narrowing of the spinal canal can put pressure on the nerves, including the sciatic nerve, leading to sciatica. This condition is more common in older adults.
• Piriformis Syndrome: This syndrome is when the piriformis muscle, located in the buttock region, spasms and irritates the sciatic nerve.
• Spondylolisthesis: This condition happens when one vertebra slips over another, narrowing the space for the sciatic nerve and thus causing pain.
• Osteoarthritis: Degenerative changes in the spine can lead to bone spurs, which can impinge on sciatic nerve roots, causing sciatica pain.
