Sciatica is one of the most commonly misunderstood conditions I see in clinic.
Many people are told they have a “trapped nerve” or a “slipped disc,” but modern healthcare understanding shows it’s often more complex than that. Sciatica can involve nerve irritation, inflammation, sensitivity, and movement intolerance — and not all leg pain is actually sciatica.
Conditions involving the hip, glutes, lower back, or surrounding nerves can present in very similar ways, which is why assessment matters.
The good news?
Most cases improve over time with the right combination of movement, symptom management, education, and rehabilitation. Complete rest is rarely the answer.
If you’ve been struggling with back or leg pain and aren’t sure what’s going on, getting the right diagnosis can make a huge difference.
