Sciatica is a condition which causes pain in one or both legs. It is caused when one of the major nerve roots are put under
pressure by the surrounding bones or muscles. The term Radiculopathy is used to
refer to the pain, numbness, tingling sensation and the feeling of weakness
associated with Sciatica.
Symptoms of Sciatica
- Constant pain on one side of the leg.
- Pain originating in the lower back or the buttock
- Pain feels better when you are lying down
- Sharp, “pins-and-needles” type of pain
- Weakness or numbness when moving the leg
What causes Sciatica?
1. Herniated disc:
This occurs when the gel-like substance in the disc leaks out and puts pressure
on a surrounding nerve root. This compression of the nerve also leads to nerve
inflammation. This will cause pain, numbness along with tingling sensation.
2. Lumbar Spinal
Stenosis: This type of nerve compression usually affects older adults. The
person feels pain travelling down either leg. The pain tends to shift and
change in intensity with movement.
3. Spondylolisthesis:
This disorder usually affects the lumbar region of the spine. When one vertebra
slips over another vertebra, the patient suffers from Spondylolisthesis. It can
be caused by spinal degeneration or while trying to lift a heavy object.
4. Injury: An injury
directly to the spine or the region around it can also lead to pressure on the
nerve roots. Traumatic events like a car crash or sports injury can cause
Sciatica.
5. Piriformis Syndrome:
This syndrome occurs when the piriformis muscle puts pressure on the sciatic
nerve. This muscle is connected to the thigh bone and help in rotation of the
hip. The syndrome occurs when muscle spasm causes compression on the sciatic
nerve.
6. Spinal tumour:
Tumours or abnormal growth on the spine can cause sciatic pain. Usually, spinal
tumours are rare. However, even a minor tumour can cause enormous nerve pain.
