Understanding Sciatica:
Sciatica is a common condition characterized by pain that radiates along the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back down the back of each leg. This pain can vary in intensity and may be accompanied by other symptoms such as numbness, tingling, or weakness in the affected leg. Sciatica is often caused by compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve due to various factors, including:
Herniated or bulging discs in the lumbar spine
Degenerative disc disease
Spinal stenosis
Piriformis syndrome (compression of the sciatic nerve by the piriformis muscle)
Lumbar spinal canal narrowing
Trauma or injury to the lower back
