Summary
Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve—the longest nerve in your body—becomes compressed or irritated. This typically results in a sharp, shooting, or burning pain that travels from the lower back through the hip and down the back of the leg.
Most likely causes
- Lumbar Disc Herniation: A bulging or slipped disc pressing against the nerve root.
- Spinal Stenosis: Narrowing of the spaces within your spine, putting pressure on nerves.
- Piriformis Syndrome: A small muscle in the buttocks tightening or owner-spasming around the nerve.
- Subluxation: Misalignments in the lower spine or pelvis that disrupt normal nerve function.
