Common questions about sciatica
What is sciatica, and what causes it?
Sciatica occurs when nerves contributing to the sciatic nerve become irritated or compressed, causing pain that travels from the lower back through the buttocks and down the leg. Common causes include herniated discs and spinal stenosis.
What are the best treatments for sciatica?
Sciatica treatment depends on the underlying cause and severity of symptoms. Options may include physical therapy, medications, epidural steroid injections, and other targeted pain management procedures.
Can sciatica go away without surgery?
Yes. Many cases of sciatica improve without surgery through conservative treatments such as physical therapy, gentle activity, and medication. Persistent or worsening symptoms may require additional evaluation.
How long does sciatica pain typically last?
Sciatica often improves within several weeks, although some cases last for months or become chronic. Recovery depends on the cause, severity of nerve irritation, and response to treatment.
