Technically, sciatica is not a medical condition. It is actually a distinct group of symptoms that can develop when the sciatic nerve – the longest and largest nerve – is compressed. Here are a few of the most common symptoms that characterize sciatica:
- Shooting pain that travels down one or both legs
- Radiating numbness or tingling sensations in the buttocks and/or legs
- General muscle weakness in the lower body
Several conditions can cause sciatica, including spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, disc injuries, and bone spurs. Regardless of what has triggered your sciatic nerve pain, ORA Orthopedics in the Quad Cities will provide comprehensive evaluation and treatment you need to feel better. Many of our patients find substantial relief through individualized combinations of physical therapy, medicine, epidural steroid injections, and simple lifestyle modifications. In the event a patient does not respond to these conservative methods, minimally invasive surgery to relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve may be recommended.
