Sciatica
Sciatica is a term that describes symptoms of pain, numbness, and/or weakness that radiate along the sciatic nerve from the lower back to the buttocks and leg.
The medical term for sciatica is lumbar radiculopathy.
Sciatica symptoms are typically felt on only one side of the body.
They may include a combination of severe pain in the back, buttock, and leg, foot and/or leg weakness, numbness, or difficulty moving the leg or foot. It’s usually caused by a herniated disk, bone spurs on the spine, or narrowing of the spine (spinal stenosis) compressing part of the nerve.
Treatment options can range from physical therapy, and medications, to surgery in severe cases.
The signs and symptoms of sciatica can include:

1. Lumbar spinal stenosis: This narrowing of the spinal canal can put pressure on the spinal cord and nerves.
2. Spondylolisthesis: This condition occurs when one vertebra slips forward over the one below it, which can compress the nerve.
3. Tumors within the spine: These may compress the root of the sciatic nerve.
4. Infection: This can affect the spine.
5. Other conditions, like a disease in the lumbar spine or direct trauma, can also cause sciatica.
6. Pregnancy can also lead to sciatica symptoms due to the additional weight and pressure on the spine.
