Understanding Sciatica: Comprehensive Guide From Integrated Care

Sciatica is a term that many have heard but might not fully understand. In our continued commitment to providing valuable healthcare insights, Integrated Care offers this concise guide to sciatica, a common condition that affects many working adults.

What is Sciatica?

Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the sciatic nerve's path, branching from the lower back through the hips and buttocks, and down each leg. This pain can range from mild to severe and often arises due to underlying conditions like herniated disks, spinal stenosis, or degenerative disk disease.

Symptoms to Watch For

  • Lower back pain
  • Hip pain
  • Burning or tingling sensation down the leg
  • Weakness, numbness, or difficulty moving the leg or foot
