Recognizing the early signs and symptoms of sciatica is crucial for early intervention and effective treatment. The most common symptom is pain that radiates from the lower back down the leg, following the path of the sciatic nerve. The pain can vary in intensity, from a mild ache to a sharp, shooting sensation.
Other symptoms may include numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness in the affected leg. Symptoms may worsen with certain movements or activities that increase pressure on the sciatic nerve.
If you experience these early signs of sciatica, seeking medical attention and exploring treatment options, such as laser therapy, can help manage the condition and prevent further progression.
