Sciatica - Causes, Symptoms, Treatment

What is sciatica?

Sciatica is caused by irritation of the nerve roots in the lower and lumbarsacral spine. The nerve roots may be pinched by the narrowing of their pathway, also known as foraminal stenosis, which irritates the nerves and causes the pain.

Sciatica may only affect one side of the body, usually in the legs and buttocks. The pain will radiate down the thigh and into the legs and feet or toes depending on the specific location of the irritation that is causing the sciatica. Numbness in the feet or toes is common in more severe cases and is commonly described as a tingling sensation in the feet or toes such as when your foot "falls asleep".

Pain from sciatica can be sporadic and mildly discomforting or for some it is described as debilitating, even affecting bowel and bladder function in severe cases.
