Low Back and Leg Pain – Is it Sciatica?
Low back pain (LBP) can stay in the lower back or radiate down the leg. When pain travels into the leg, it may involve the sciatic nerve—commonly referred to as sciatica. True sciatica happens when this large nerve is pinched or irritated, often by a herniated disc, spinal arthritis, or other causes. Similar symptoms can also come from muscle issues, joint pain, or conditions like diabetes—these are sometimes called “pseudosciatica” or “neuropathy.”
Symptoms can include back pain, buttock or leg pain, numbness, tingling, or even muscle weakness. Fortunately, chiropractic care often helps relieve these issues without the need for surgery.
