Sciatica Pain: Why It Hurts and How to Finally Find Relief Without Surgery

What Is Sciatica Pain?

Sciatica isn’t just back pain. it’s nerve pain that starts in the lower back or hip and travels down one or both legs. It’s caused when the sciatic nerve, the largest nerve in your body, becomes irritated, compressed, or inflamed.

This irritation can create sharp, burning, or shooting pain that may extend from your lower back through your glutes and all the way to your calf or foot. For some, it’s a dull ache; for others, it’s a constant, electric-like pain that makes sitting or walking difficult.

Common Causes of Sciatica

1. Herniated or Bulging Disc
   When discs in your lower spine press on the sciatic nerve, it triggers pain that radiates down your leg.
2. Arthritis or Spinal Degeneration
   Wear-and-tear over time can cause bone spurs or inflammation that irritate the nerve.
3. Piriformis Syndrome
   Tight muscles in the hip or buttock area can compress the sciatic nerve.
4. Inflammation or Muscle Imbalance
   Chronic inflammation or weak stabilizing muscles can lead to pressure on the nerve.
5. Poor Posture or Prolonged Sitting
   Sitting for hours with poor posture can compress the lower back and worsen symptoms.

Typical Symptoms of Sciatica

You may notice:

• Sharp, shooting pain down the leg
• Numbness or tingling in the thigh or calf
• Pain that worsens when sitting or driving
• Muscle weakness in one leg
• Difficulty standing up straight or walking long distances

If you experience these symptoms regularly, it’s important to address them early, untreated nerve pain can become chronic and harder to reverse.
