Sciatica is not a disease itself but a condition caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, the longest nerve in the human body. The pain usually starts in the lower back and radiates through the buttock, thigh, and down one leg.
For some people, the pain may be mild, while for others it can interfere with walking, sitting, standing, and daily activities. Identifying the underlying cause is essential for appropriate treatment.
