What Is Sciatica?

Sciatica is a condition that occurs when the sciatic nerve becomes irritated, inflamed, or compressed. The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the body and travels from the lower back through the hips and buttocks and down each leg.

Unlike general lower back pain, sciatica typically causes radiating symptoms that extend into the leg. The severity of symptoms can vary from mild discomfort to debilitating pain that affects walking, sitting, sleeping, and daily function.

Physiotherapy is often one of the most effective conservative treatments for sciatica because it focuses on addressing the root cause of nerve irritation.
