What Is Sciatica?
Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve becomes irritated or compressed, often causing pain that radiates from the lower back down through the hips, buttocks, and legs. Some patients may also experience numbness, tingling, burning sensations, or muscle weakness.
Sciatica symptoms can range from mild discomfort to severe nerve pain that interferes with walking, sitting, or sleeping comfortably.
