The sciatic nerves goes down the lower back into the back of the leg and into the foot. Sciatica is a set of symptoms or pain along the sciatic nerve's pathway. The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the body; it affects a large area within the body. As such, symptoms can be very different for each patient dealing with this sciatic compression. Sciatica is not one type of problem or issue. It can be many different things a patient is experiencing.

Symptoms of sciatica are case specific, ranging from pain in the lower back, pain or numbness in the lower body, leg, decreased motion, and muscle weakness. The sciatic nerve can affect motor function and sensory control.

Commonly Sciatica is diagnosed in patients with an MRI. Anything that compresses the nerve tissue can lead to this problem occurring.

How long sciatica lasts is dependent on the causation. In some cases, it can be temporary, a result of inflammation, or some type of injury that occurred. These tend to resolve in 4-6 weeks. If caused by an underlying spinal condition that has to do more with alignment left untreated, it can last many years. 20-30 percent of patients who experience sciatica pain will experience symptoms for up to 2 years or longer.

There are two ways of treating sciatica
- symptom type treatment
- address the cause of the sciatica

These treatments normally combine multiple treatment approaches to deliver the best results possible, so the results will be more long-lasting and more dealing with the cause instead of symptoms.
