Sciatica refers to a condition characterized by pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which is the longest nerve in the human body. The sciatic nerve starts in the lower back and runs through the buttocks, down the back of each leg, ending at the feet. When the sciatic nerve is compressed, irritated, or inflamed, it can lead to the characteristic symptoms of sciatica.

The most common symptoms of sciatica include:

Pain: The pain can be sharp, shooting, or burning and usually starts in the lower back or buttocks. It then travels down the back of the leg, following the path of the sciatic nerve. The pain can vary in intensity and may be accompanied by tingling, numbness, or weakness in the affected leg.

Numbness and Tingling: Some individuals may experience numbness or a pins-and-needles sensation in the leg or foot. This is often due to the compression of nerve fibers.
