Sciatica

If you’re one of the millions of people who suffer from sciatica, you know how debilitating the pain can be. Sciatica is a common condition that affects the sciatic nerve, causing pain, numbness, and tingling sensations that can extend from the lower back down to the back of the legs. The symptoms are making it difficult to perform daily tasks and enjoy physical activities. 

Sciatica

Causes

Herniated or slipped discs

When the discs between the vertebrae in your spine slip or become damaged, they can put pressure on the sciatic nerve, causing pain and discomfort.

Spinal stenosis

This condition occurs when the spinal canal narrows, causing compression of the nerves, including the sciatic nerve.

Degenerative disc disease

As we age, the discs in our spine can start to break down, leading to inflammation and pressure on the sciatic nerve.

Piriformis syndrome

The piriformis muscle is located in the buttock region and can sometimes compress the sciatic nerve, causing pain and discomfort.

Symptoms

  • Lower back pain that radiates down to the buttocks and leg
  • Numbness or tingling sensation in the legs or feet
  • Weakness in the affected leg or foot
  • Pain that worsens with sitting or standing for long periods of time
  • Pain that worsens with coughing or sneezing
  • Shooting pain that makes it difficult to walk or stand up straight
  • Feeling a jolt or electric shock sensation
  • Loss of bowel or bladder control in severe cases
