What Sciatica Actually Is
Firstly, sciatica is a symptom — not a diagnosis. Consequently, it is caused by irritation of the L4, L5, or S1 nerve root, most commonly by a lumbar disc herniation or piriformis syndrome. Understanding the true driver is what separates targeted recovery from months of guesswork.
Classic Sciatica Symptoms
- Sharp electric pain from the lower back down the leg.
- Numbness or tingling in the foot.
- Weakness in the toes or ankle.
- Pain worsened by sitting, driving, or coughing.
- Relief when walking or lying down flat.
