Best Sciatica Physiotherapist in Lahore, Pakistan. Sciatica is nerve pain in the lower back that radiates down the leg due to injury, irritation, inflammation, pinching or compression of the sciatic nerve.
Symptoms of sciatica:
The symptoms of sciatica include following:
• Moderate to severe pain in the lower back, buttock and down your leg.

• Pain that worsens with movement; loss of movement.

• Loss of bowel and bladder control (due to cauda equina).
Causes of sciatica:
Sciatica can be caused by several conditions are following:
- A herniated or slipped disk that causes pressure on a nerve root. This is the most common cause of sciatica. When a herniated disk
happens to a vertebra in your lower back, it can press on the sciatic nerve. - Spinal stenosis is the abnormal narrowing of the spinal canal. This narrowing reduces the available space for the spinal cord and nerves.
- Spondylolisthesis is a slippage of one vertebra so that it is out of line with the one above it, narrowing the opening through which the nerve exits. The extended spinal bone can pinch the sciatic nerve.
- Osteoarthritis Bone spurs (jagged edges of bone) can form in ageing spines and compress lower back nerves.
- Trauma injury to the lumbar spine or sciatic nerve.
- Tumours in the lumbar spinal canal compress the sciatic nerve.
- Piriformis syndrome is a condition that develops when the piriformis muscle, a small muscle that lies deep in the buttocks, becomes tight or spasms. This can put pressure on and irritate the sciatic nerve.
