Sciatica

Sciatica is a term used to describe a symptom, typically a sharp, shooting pain that travels down the leg. You may also experience numbness, tingling, or weakness in the affected limb and typically hear the phrase ‘trapped nerve’.

What is Sciatica? It is an irritation to the sciatic nerve, which is often triggered from a disc herniation, muscle spasm, joint-related dysfunction, pregnancy or trauma.

Sciatica can present with a series of worrying symptoms, however it is often very normal and requires an expert to diagnose and treat, ensuring that the condition resolves and doesn’t return in the future.
