What is Sciatica?

Sciatica is a condition caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, the largest nerve in the body. This nerve runs from your lower spine through your hips and down each leg.

When this nerve becomes irritated, it can cause:

  • Pain radiating down the leg
  • Numbness or tingling
  • Weakness in the leg or foot

Sciatica is not a condition itself—it’s a symptom of an underlying issue affecting the spine or surrounding structures.

What Causes Sciatica?

Sciatica is typically caused by pressure on the nerve.

Common causes include:

  • Herniated or bulging discs
  • Spinal misalignment or joint dysfunction
  • Spinal stenosis
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Muscle tightness (especially the piriformis muscle)
  • Poor posture and prolonged sitting

These conditions can compress or irritate the sciatic nerve, leading to pain and dysfunction.

Common Symptoms of Sciatica

Sciatica symptoms can vary, but most people experience:

  • Sharp, shooting pain down one leg
  • Burning or tingling sensation
  • Numbness in the leg or foot
  • Weakness in the leg
  • Pain that worsens with sitting
  • Discomfort when bending or lifting

In many cases, symptoms affect only one side of the body.

The Root Cause: Nerve Compression in the Spine

Sciatica is rarely just a “leg problem.”

It typically starts in the lower spine, where:

  • Disc pressure increases
  • Joint movement decreases
  • Nerves become compressed

This is why treating only the symptoms often leads to temporary relief.

At North Atlanta Spine, we focus on removing the pressure on the nerve, not just calming the pain.
