Sciatica is a term for a group of symptoms that cause pain along the path of the sciatic nerve.
This nerve runs through your lower back, hips and buttocks, and down each leg.
When something irritates or compresses the nerve, you might feel pain that radiates down your leg, along with tingling, numbness, or even weakness.
This pain can vary from mild to severe, and while it’s often linked to a disc problem in the spine, it can also be caused by other issues like spinal stenosis (a narrowing of the spinal canal) or even non-spinal factors.
The good news is that sciatica usually improves over time with treatments, exercise, and other hollistic approaches.
It’s important to get a proper assessment to understand the cause of your symptoms and find the best treatment plan to help you feel better.
