Sciatica is usually caused by pressure or irritation of the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back down the legs. Common causes include herniated or bulging discs, spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, muscle tightness like piriformis syndrome, and injuries or trauma to the lower back. These conditions can lead to sharp, shooting pain, tingling, or numbness along the nerve pathway, often affecting daily activities.

Physical therapy and physiotherapy play a key role in relief, helping strengthen muscles, improve flexibility, and reduce nerve pressure for long-lasting comfort.
