Sciatica is the name given to a medical condition in which pain originating in the lower back radiates down the leg. Those who suffer from sciatica report shooting pains, which typically affect one side of the body, but can be felt on both sides simultaneously. Some patients also report pain in the leg, the foot and create a general feeling of weakness. Around 90% of sciatica cases are caused by a herniated disc or bone spur, which creates pressure on the sciatic nerve.
Why does my back hurt?
The sciatic nerve is the longest and thickest nerve in our body. The nerve begins in the lumbar area of the spine, (in the L4-L5 vertebral area), passes through the back of the pelvis, and splits to continue down through buttocks, thighs and knees, reaching to just above the foot. Due to the passage of the nerve from the lower back area to the legs, if pressure is created on the nerve, the sensation of pain may be radiated to the leg area and not confined to the back.
About 90% of sciatic nerve injuries are caused by a herniated disc. This is a condition in which the intervertebral disc tears and moves out of place. Naturally, this creates pressure on the nerve, which in turn begins a chain reaction that causes pain. In addition to a herniated disc or bone spur, there are other factors that can create pressure on the nerve and cause pain, including smoking, obesity, and pregnancy. As opposed to other types of pain like fibromyalgia or carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatic pain is more common in men than in women.
