Sciatica is a medical condition characterized by pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which is the longest and widest nerve in the human body. The sciatic nerve starts in the lower back and extends down each leg. Sciatica occurs when there is compression, irritation, or inflammation of the sciatic nerve or the nerve roots that contribute to it. This condition can be quite painful and is often associated with lower back pain. The sciatic nerve is formed by nerve roots in the lower spine (L4 to S3) and runs down through the buttocks and the back of each leg. It provides sensation and controls the muscles of the lower extremities.
