Sciatica, or Lumbar Radiculopathy, is an irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve roots in the lumbar spine. Most commonly, sciatica causes lower back pain and pain that radiates down the leg. Because the sciatic nerve roots in the lumbar spine extend to the hips, buttocks, legs and feet – an injury or irritation in the lumbar spine region of your back causes symptoms in these areas.

Common Symptoms of Sciatica
Because the sciatic nerve is so large and stretches from the lower back to the feet, sciatica symptoms are often more severe when sitting or standing for long periods of time. Sciatica pain can also be felt periodically, or constantly, depending on the level of compression of the nerves. Sciatica symptoms include:
- Low back pain
- Pain in the buttocks or leg
- Weakness, numbness or tingling in the buttocks or leg
- Difficulty moving the leg or the foot
- Discomfort while standing or walking

Sciatica can affect anyone, but certain risk factors may increase the likelihood of developing sciatic symptoms. Sciatica risk factors include obesity, diabetes and decreased activity levels.
