Pain that originated in the Low Back and Buttocks but is often times felt most in the Hip and/ or Down the Leg, Shooting, Burning, Electrical Pain that Shoots Down to the Foot and Toes that may also have a feeling of Tingling or Numbness, is a result of irritation to the Sciatic Nerve.
Since the sciatic nerve originates in the lower area of the back and travels down the leg to the toes, Lumbar Radiculopathy or Sciatica is the common the underlying issue in the case of low back pain. The symptoms of Sciatica are usually only present on one side of the body. Sciatica pain can include steady low back pain or buttocks pain, shooting pain from the buttocks and leg, with tingling, weakness and numbness. If left untreated, loss of sensation and function of the leg, bowels, bladder along with sexual dysfunction can occur.
Sciatica is refereed more often than diagnosed due to its meaning which is a description of symptoms and not the cause. Lumbar Radiculopathy is usually an effect of spinal injury or dysfunction, usually due to disc herniation or spinal stenosis (narrowing of the space between your spinal bones), which are typically the result of injury to the spine and can be caused by accidents, poor posture, deficient health, advanced age, spinal misalignment’s and more.
Sciatic Nerve Pain can fluctuate from intense, immobilizing pain to very mild discomfort all based on how much irritation or compression is on the nerve. However only about 10% of your nerves sense pain so there could always be more damage than you may realize. This is why it is so vital to consult with a spinal care expert who has knowledge of and consistently treats Sciatic Nerve Pain.
