Sciatica is pain radiating along the sciatic nerve — from the lower back through the buttock, down the leg. Usually caused by a herniated disc or bone spur compressing a nerve root.
Diagnosis is clinical plus MRI lumbar spine to identify disc herniation, canal stenosis, or nerve root compression. NCS/EMG assesses nerve damage severity.
Yes. Over 90% of sciatica resolves with physiotherapy, pain medication (NSAIDs, gabapentin), and postural correction. Surgery is for severe neurological deficits or failed conservative treatment.
Cauda equina syndrome is a surgical emergency where the nerve bundle at the base of the spine is compressed, causing bladder/bowel dysfunction and perineal numbness. Requires urgent surgery.
