Sciatic Nerve
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
The sciatic nerve is the longest nerve in the body; it runs from the lower back, passes through the buttocks, and travels down each leg. When it becomes irritated or compressed, a characteristic pain known as sciatica appears.
Frequent symptoms: Pain that extends from the lower back to the buttock and the leg, at times with tingling, numbness, or a feeling of weakness in a limb.
Common causes: It is usually related to pressure on the nerve from spinal problems, sustained postures, or muscle tension in the area.
Which specialist treats it? The physical therapist designs exercises to relieve pressure and restore mobility, and the chiropractor can support the management of discomfort related to the spine. If leg pain persists or limits your activities, a professional evaluation helps find its source.
