Sciatica Q&A

Sciatica is a prevalent musculoskeletal problem caused by pressure on the sciatic nerve in the back. This significant nerve originates from the lumbar (lower) spine and extends through the buttocks, with individual branches extending down each leg.

Symptoms

  • Pain
  • Tingling
  • Prickling
  • Pins-and-needles sensation
  • Numbness
  • Weakness
  • Loss of function

Symptoms typically spread down the leg along the nerve's pathway. While sciatica commonly affects one leg, it can develop bilaterally. The pain associated with sciatica is often described as shooting or electric-shock-like, and is frequently more severe in the buttocks and leg than in the lower back.
