Sciatica: Frequently Asked Questions

What is sciatica?

Sciatica refers to pain that radiates from the lower back down the legs as a result of compression on the sciatic nerve. Up to 40% of the general population may experience sciatica in their lifetime. It is more common in people over the age of 40 years.

What causes sciatica?

 Chevron Icon

Sciatica may develop over time as a result of wear and tear or if something suddenly causes compression on the sciatic nerve. Arthritis and bone spurs are the most common causes of sciatica in older adults. Disk herniation and sudden pressure on the disks that cushion the vertebrae of the lower spine may also cause sciatic pain.

What are stretches to relieve sciatic nerve pain?

 Chevron Icon

Stretches that may help relieve sciatic nerve pain include hamstring stretches, such as bridges, knee-to-chest stretches, Cobra, and Child's Pose. It is important to contact a doctor for advice before beginning any exercises, as some may worsen sciatica.

What are the symptoms of sciatica?

 Chevron Icon

Symptoms of sciatica can include pain that may travel from the lower back down to the foot, often on one side of the body. Sciatica can also cause weakness, tingling, numbness, aches, a burning sensation, and muscle spasms.
