Could it be Sciatica

Sciatica describes symptoms caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve or its nerve roots. It commonly affects one buttock and leg and may extend into the foot.

Symptoms can include:

  • Sharp, shooting or burning pain down the leg

  • Pins and needles or numbness

  • Weakness in the affected leg or foot

  • Pain that makes everyday activities uncomfortable

You may also have lower back pain. However, not all back, buttock or leg pain is sciatica. An assessment helps clarify what is happening and whether treatment at the clinic is suitable.
