Sciatica can have several underlying causes that result in the compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve. The most common cause is a herniated disc, where the gel-like material inside the disc protrudes and puts pressure on the nerve.
Other causes include spinal stenosis, bone spurs, piriformis syndrome, and spinal misalignments. Understanding the specific cause of sciatica is crucial in developing an effective treatment plan. Healthcare professionals can perform diagnostic tests and evaluations to identify the underlying cause and tailor treatment accordingly.
