Sciatica is a medical condition that causes pain along the sciatic nerve. This nerve is made up of various nerve roots which join together in the pelvic region. The sciatic nerve is considered the largest nerve in the body, with a diameter of up to 2 cm. Usually, sciatica affects only one side of the body. The pain is localized at any part of the nerve including: - Lower back - Hips - Buttocks - Leg - Toes What Are the Most Common Causes of Sciatica? As the first step of treatment, our Brooklyn specialists conduct an overall assessment of the patient to determine the root of the problem. The majority of sciatica cases stem from an inflammatory condition that often results in nerve irritation. In rare cases, sciatic nerve condition may be caused by benign or cancerous tumor or metabolic disease such as diabetes. Sciatica also occurs due to: - Herniated disk - Spinal stenosis including Lumbar and Cervical - Bone spur on the spine, etc. These triggers cause inflammation and pain accompanied by numbness of the affected leg because the sciatic nerve becomes pinched. Sometimes this nerve can get compressed by a tumor or get damaged due to diabetes. If you are obese, have diabetes, sit for a long period of time during a day, have a job that requires a lot of heavy lifting, or drive for long periods you have a greater risk of suffering from sciatic nerve problems.
