What Is Sciatica (Lumbar Radiculopathy)?

Sciatica, or Lumbar Radiculopathy, is an irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve roots in the lumbar spine. Most commonly, sciatica causes lower back pain and pain that radiates down the leg. Because the sciatic nerve roots in the lumbar spine extend to the hips, buttocks, legs, and feet – an injury or irritation in the lumbar spine region of your back causes symptoms in these areas.

What Are the Symptoms of Sciatica?

Sciatic nerve is so large and stretches from the lower back to the feet, sciatica symptoms are often more severe when sitting or standing for long periods of time. Sciatica pain can also be felt periodically, or constantly, depending on the level of compression of the nerves. Sciatica symptoms include:

• Low back pain
• Pain in the buttocks or leg
• Weakness, numbness or tingling in the buttocks or leg
• Difficulty moving the leg or the foot
• Discomfort while standing or walking

Sciatica can affect anyone, but certain risk factors may increase the likelihood of developing sciatic symptoms. Sciatica risk factors include obesity, diabetes and decreased activity levels.

Sciatica can be debilitating, but it’s important to remember that most cases improve with conservative measures like physical therapy and medicines to reduce inflammation. Surgery should not be the first option.

What Causes Sciatica?

Sciatica affects both those with highly active lifestyles, such as athletes, as well as people who are less active. Sitting for a prolonged period of time puts pressure on the sciatic nerve, causing irritation and pain. Excess weight can also place extra pressure on the spine.

On the other hand, over-activity can also lead to sciatica. Athletes, especially runners, may develop sciatica due to repetitive movements of the hip, which cause irritation of the sciatic nerve. Middle-aged adults are also more susceptible to sciatica due to natural degeneration of the spine and herniated discs. It is important to note that Sciatica is not a condition in itself, Sciatica is a symptom of a condition causing the sciatic nerve compression or irritation. Sciatica may be caused by several different spine conditions including:

• Herniated Discs
• Spinal Stenosis
• Degenerative Disc Disease
• Arthritis
• Back injury
