What Causes Sciatica Pain?
Certain conditions can lead to sciatica, such as bone spurs, arthritis, or any injury that affects the sciatic nerve. Injuries can also lead to sciatica, such as herniated discs, harsh falls, sports-related collisions, or anything that occurs gradually over time through overuse, repetition, or general “wear and tear.”
Sciatica is caused by irritation and/or inflammation of the nerve roots that exit from the lumbar spine region of the back. The most common cause of irritation is a herniation of the disc; bone spurs from degenerative changes or some type of injury. The sciatic nerve starts in your lower back and runs down your legs to your feet.
Sciatica pain is usually experienced on one side/leg and typically affects people between the ages of 30 and 50, but it is possible for younger and older people too.
Although sciatica is often described as a pinched nerve, most cases stem from inflammation. A compressed nerve in the lower back is typically a more severe condition and should be addressed as soon as possible.
The good news is that most people recover from a bout of sciatica. The bad news is that a majority of people will have more than one episode, and often the condition gets worse each time. At Marketplace Physical Therapy & Wellness Center, our physical therapist will address your symptoms, but more importantly, we will get to the root of the problem and provide you with the tools to resolve your pain and prevent it from returning in the future!
