Sciatica is a condition characterized by a sharp, shooting pain that radiates down the leg. Additional symptoms may include numbness, tingling, or weakness in the affected area, and it’s often described as a “pinched nerve.”

It occurs when the sciatic nerve becomes irritated, often due to factors like a herniated disc, muscle tension, joint issues, pregnancy, or physical trauma. Understanding the cause of your sciatica is important for effective treatment.

While the symptoms of sciatica can be alarming, the condition is common and treatable. With proper diagnosis and treatment by a professional, it can be effectively managed.
