Sciatica
Sciatica is the name of the 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. Sciatica does not just refer to back pain, but it can often times run all the way down through the buttock, down to the legs. The sciatic nerve is the longest nerve in the body and the most common cause of sciatica is a slipped disk.
Some of the most common symptoms of sciatica is shooting pain anywhere along sciatic nerve. This means it can run anywhere from the lower back, all the way down your leg. Occasionally there is numbness in the leg or a tingling sensation in the feet, this can be mild or extremely severe.
Treatment for sciatica depends on the level of severity or how long your symptoms have been happening. Conservative treatments can be a beneficial way to help manage pain symptoms, especially considering the other option is surgery.
