What Causes Sciatica?
In almost all cases, sciatica is caused by injury or pressure on the sciatic nerve. Sciatica is a symptom of a medical problem and is not a medical condition by itself. Pressure on the sciatic nerve can have many causes, including disc problems, inflammation of surrounding tissues, structure abnormalities, and alignment issues. We will look at the cause of your sciatica and determine the best approach for you.
Typical Symptoms
Some of the most common symptoms of sciatica pain include:
- Hip pain
- Aching
- A tingling or burning feeling down the leg
- Weakness, numbness, or a difficult time moving the leg or foot
- Continual pain that affects one side of the buttocks
- A shooting pain that makes it uncomfortable to stand up
