WhatsApp NowSciatica is a term used to describe pain traveling the path of the sciatic nerve. This nerve path extends from the lower back, through the hips, and down the leg. It most commonly develops due to disc herniation and impingement on a spinal nerve.
Patients describe pain as sharp or burning with numbness and/or tingling in the leg. Sciatica pain may vary from moderate to debilitating pain that restricts mobility and the performance of daily living activities and/or prevents sleep. Symptoms and underlying causes determine the course of treatment.
Surgeries for sciatica are rarely used as the primary treatment. A surgeon specializing in the treatment of spine disorders will recommend surgical intervention when:
The pain persists despite proper non-surgical treatment.
Pain causes persistent or progressive numbness or muscle weakness.
There is nerve compression that affects movement.
Problems detected by imaging require surgical intervention.
The symptoms result from a specific underlying spinal disorder.
The pain is accompanied by emergency symptoms (loss of bladder/bowel control).
