If you’re experiencing sciatica pain, medically known as lumbar radiculopathy, you’re not alone. This condition is very common, and affects adults all across the globe! Sciatica can result from a variety of causes, including sciatic nerve injuries from arthritis, bone spurs, herniated discs, or other nerve-related issues.
What is Sciatica?
Sciatica pain is felt along the sciatic nerve, the largest nerve in the body. This nerve starts in the lower back, runs through the buttocks, down the legs, and reaches the feet. When the sciatic nerve becomes compressed or irritated—often from tightness in the hip and gluteal muscles—individuals may feel sharp, stinging, or burning sensations in the lower back, buttocks, legs, or feet.

Common Symptoms:
- Lower back pain
- Pain or discomfort in the buttocks
- Shooting or burning pain down the legs
- Numbness or tingling in the feet
- Weakness in the legs or feet
