What is a pinched nerve? What is sciatica?
A pinched nerve happens when surrounding tissues — such as a disc, joint, muscle, ligament, or inflamed tissue — place pressure on or irritate a nerve.
Sciatica refers to pain or nerve symptoms that follow the sciatic nerve pathway. This often causes pain that starts in the low back or glute area and travels into the hip, leg, or foot.
Common Symptoms of Sciatica or a Pinched Nerve
Symptoms may include:
Lower back, hip, glute, or leg pain
Pain that radiates down one leg
Tingling or pins-and-needles sensations
Numbness in the leg or foot
Muscle weakness or a leg that feels like it may “give way”
Pain that worsens with sitting, bending, lifting, or driving
Difficulty sleeping, walking, or staying active
Typical Causes of Sciatica and Nerve Irritation
Sciatica and pinched nerve symptoms may be related to:
Disc irritation or herniation
Joint restriction or spinal misalignment
Muscle spasm or inflammation
Posture strain
Repetitive stress
Prior injury
