Sciatica is the name given to pain caused by irritation of the sciatic nerve.
Anything that irritates this nerve can cause pain, ranging from mild to severe. Sciatica is usually caused by a compressed nerve in the lower spine.
Physical therapy and exercise are typically first-line treatments for relieving, treating, and preventing sciatica symptoms.
Typical sciatica signs and symptoms include:
Lower back, hip, and/or leg pain
Numbness, tingling, and/or weakness in the buttock, thigh, leg, and/or foot
Underlying medical conditions, such as a herniated or degenerated disc, or nerve root compression in the lumbar spine may cause radiating symptoms into the leg, commonly known as sciatica.
