Sciatica symptoms often travel from the back to the buttocks and legs. Pain may seem manageable at times, but it is often debilitating and reduces quality of life. Common sciatica causes include a herniated disc and other compressive forces from vertebral motion that irritate spinal nerves. Many movements can trigger a flare, including prolonged sitting or standing, sudden jerking from sneezing or laughing, and bending backward. Without timely sciatica treatment, the pain can worsen over time if the herniated disc causing the pinched nerve is not allowed to heal.
Patient Recovery Stories & Reviews
What is Sciatica?
According to the Mayo Clinic, sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which branches from your lower back through your hips and buttocks and down each leg. Sciatica most commonly occurs when a herniated disc, bone spur on the spine, or narrowing of the spine (spinal stenosis) compresses part of the nerve.
What Causes Sciatica?
Sciatica, generally speaking, is caused by inflammation of the sciatic nerves which run from the spinal column down through each of the legs. This inflammation is typically the direct result of a damaged or herniated disc. These discs, which sit between each of the spinal vertebrae, are tough, jelly-like rings that protect the nerves traveling to and from the spinal cord itself as the spine compresses throughout the day. When the spine moves abnormally through heavy lifting or injury, the discs can rupture, limiting their ability to absorb compressive forces. The result is pressure on nearby nerves causing them to be pinched. More often than not, the pinched nerve in question is the sciatic nerve.
