Sciatica
Find Lasting Relief From Nerve Pain
Sciatica is a common and often debilitating condition that affects the lower back, hips, and legs. If you’re experiencing sharp, shooting pain, numbness, or tingling that travels down one leg, the underlying cause is often irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve.
Common Causes of Sciatica
Sciatica is not a condition itself, but a symptom of an underlying issue affecting the sciatic nerve. Common causes include:
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Spinal misalignment
- Degenerative disc changes
- Sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction
- Muscle tension (especially piriformis syndrome)
- Spinal stenosis
Even small structural imbalances can place pressure on the sciatic nerve, leading to significant discomfort.
Understanding Sciatic Nerve Pain
The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the body, running from the lower spine through the hips and down each leg. When this nerve becomes irritated or compressed, it can cause:
- Sharp, shooting pain down the leg
- Burning or tingling sensations
- Numbness or weakness
- Pain that worsens with sitting or standing
Because the source of the problem is often in the spine or pelvis, treating only the symptoms rarely leads to long-term relief.
