Sciatica Pain

Sciatica affects up to 40% of adults at some point in their lives, making it a leading cause of lower back and leg pain.

Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve becomes irritated or compressed, often causing pain that travels from the lower back through the hips and down the leg, often making it impossible or very difficult to go about your daily life.

Symptoms may include sharp or burning pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the leg or foot. Sciatica can interfere with walking, sitting, sleeping, and daily activities, especially when symptoms worsen with prolonged sitting or movement.

Sciatica often develops from underlying spinal issues such as disc herniation, spinal misalignment, degenerative changes, muscle tension, or poor posture. Improper lifting and repetitive strain can also increase pressure on the sciatic nerve, leading to chronic discomfort if left untreated.
