The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the human body. It is formed by five different nerve roots that originate in the lower spine. When the sciatic nerve is compressed or irritated, it causes pain in the lower back, buttocks, and down the leg. “Sciatica” is the term used commonly to describe this type of pain. The medical term for this condition is lumbar radiculopathy.
Sciatica is a common condition that many people experience at some point in their lives. Fortunately, there are good non-surgical treatments available to help relieve the pain associated with sciatica.
What are common sciatica symptoms?
- A pain that starts in your lower back and travels down your leg, sometimes reaching your buttock, thigh, calf, or foot
- A sharp, shooting pain that can feel like a sudden jolt or electric shock
- A feeling of numbness, tingling, or weakness in your leg or foot
- Pain that tends to get worse when you cough, sneeze, or sit for a long time
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, reach out to our experts. We can discuss a plan and get you back to feeling like yourself again.
