Nerve fibres originating from L4-S3 unites in front of piriformis muscle to form the widest single nerve in human body called the SCIATIC NERVE. Myalgia Paraesthesia in the corresponding region of supply of the Sciatic Nerve is termed as SCIATICA.
This symptom can be due to compression of /injury to /pathology of Sciatic Nerve or its nerve fibre origin.
Compression/Injury/ Pathology can be due to trauma / mechanical wear and tear / pathological changes around sciatic nerve or at origin of its fibres at lumbar and sacral region.
COMMON CAUSES OF SCIATICA
- Lumbar Spondylosis
- Spinal Stenosis
- Spinal Disc Herniation
- Degenerated Vertebra
- Sciatic Nerve Surrounding Muscle Spasms
- Sciatic Nerve Surrounding Tissue Inflamation
- Deep Tissue Abscess Around Sciatic Nerve
- Fetal Weight During Pregnancy
- Piriformis Syndrome
- Tumours in and around Sciatic Nerve
- Injury During Surgical Procedures
