Sciatica

Causes & Risk Factors

Sciatic nerve pain often stems from underlying spinal conditions, such as:

• Herniated Discs: Disc material pressing on the sciatic nerve.
• Spinal Stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal, compressing nerves.
• Piriformis Syndrome: Tightness in the piriformis muscle irritating the sciatic nerve.
• Degenerative Disc Disease: Spinal wear that contributes to nerve compression. Other risk factors include prolonged sitting, obesity, diabetes, and poor posture.

What Happens If Left Untreated?

Ignoring sciatica can lead to chronic pain, reduced mobility, and muscle weakness. In severe cases, long-term nerve compression may result in permanent damage, affecting leg function and causing lingering discomfort.
