Sciatica Treatment in Hudson, WI

Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve, the largest nerve in the body, is irritated or compressed. This nerve extends from the lower spine through the hips, buttocks, and down each leg. Common causes of sciatica include:

• Herniated Discs: Bulging or ruptured spinal discs pressing on the nerve.
• Spinal Stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal compressing the sciatic nerve.
• Piriformis Syndrome: Tightness or spasms in the piriformis muscle irritating the sciatic nerve.
• Spondylolisthesis: A vertebra slipping out of alignment and pressing on the nerve.
• Injuries or Trauma: Accidents or falls affecting the lower back.

Symptoms of sciatica include sharp or shooting pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness in the lower back, buttocks, and legs, often affecting one side of the body.
