Sciatica is a specific pain in the lower extremity resulting from the sciatic nerve's irritation due to the sciatic nerve or sciatic nerve root pathology. Sciatica's pain is typically felt from the low-back (lumbar area) to behind the thigh and can radiate down below the knee. It is also an unbearable condition in which the patient experiences pain and/or paresthesia in the supply of the sciatic nerve or linked lumbosacral nerve root.
There are some significant risk factors associated with the patient for initiating the disease and further progression. Some of them are personal factors that involve the peak age of the disease occurrence between 45 and 64 years. Smoking and mental health are some of the causes and significant factors for the progression of the disease. Occupational factors such as strenuous physical activity, for example, frequent lifting, especially while bending and twisting, driving, including vibration of the whole body, can also be one of the minor factors.
