What is sciatica?
Sciatica is a condition that causes pain along the path of the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back through the buttock, down the back of the leg, and into the calf and foot.
The pain can be accompanied by pins and needles, tingling, numbness, and weakness in the leg or foot. It usually only affects one leg.
What are are the symptoms and causes of sciatica?
The most common causes of sciatica are problems with the discs in the spine; slippage of the spine bones (spondylolisthesis); and tightness or overuse of the glute and hamstring muscles.
