What Is Sciatica?

Sciatica is not a diagnosis — it’s a symptom. It occurs when the sciatic nerve, the largest nerve in the body, becomes irritated or compressed. This can lead to:

• Sharp or burning pain in the lower back, hip, or leg
• Numbness or tingling down one side of the body
• Weakness in the leg or foot
• Pain that worsens when sitting or driving

Left untreated, sciatica can become chronic and progressively limit your ability to work, exercise, or enjoy daily activities.

Common Causes of Sciatic Nerve Pain

Sciatica can develop for many reasons, and identifying the exact cause is critical for lasting relief. At Atlas Chiropractic, we commonly see sciatica caused by:

• Herniated or bulging discs
• Spinal misalignments
• Degenerative disc disease
• Piriformis syndrome
• Poor posture or prolonged sitting
• Pregnancy-related pelvic changes
