Sciatica Pain

Sciatica is more than just a fleeting discomfort; it’s an intense and often debilitating condition that can significantly affect one’s quality of life. At MVMT Health in Tampa, we understand the difficulties sciatica can present and offer innovative treatments to help you reclaim a pain-free lifestyle.

What is Sciatica Pain?

Sciatica pain stems from irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, the longest nerve in your body. It starts in the lower back and extends down both legs. The pain typically radiates from the lower back through the buttock and down one leg. It may vary from a mild ache to a sharp, burning sensation or even excruciating pain. Some people may also experience tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness in the affected leg or foot.

Let's dive into the top causes of sciatica pain.

  • Herniated Discs: One of the most frequent culprits, a herniated or slipped disc, occurs when the soft interior of a spinal disc pushes through a crack in the tougher exterior casing, putting pressure on the sciatic nerve.

  • Spinal Stenosis: This condition involves the narrowing of the spinal canal, which can compress the sciatic nerve roots.

  • Degenerative Disc Disease: As discs degenerate over time, they can lose their cushioning effect and cause direct nerve compression.

  • Piriformis Syndrome: The piriformis muscle in the buttocks can sometimes spasm and compress the sciatic nerve.

  • Traumatic Injuries: Accidents or injuries resulting in fractures or inflammation can lead to sciatica.
