Understanding Sciatica and Its Causes

Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve – the longest nerve in your body becomes irritated or compressed, often from spinal misalignment, disc herniation, or muscle tension. This compression creates pain, numbness, or tingling that radiates down one or both legs.

Common causes of sciatica include:

Lumbar disc herniation pressing on the sciatic nerve root
Piriformis muscle tension compresses the nerve in the gluteal region
Spinal misalignment is creating lower back instability
Degenerative disc disease or arthritis, narrowing of spinal pathways
Postural imbalance or occupational stress damaging lower spinal structures

Dr. Freeman’s full – spine evaluation identifies the exact cause of nerve irritation, creating a customized plan for pain relief and functional recovery.
