What Are The Common Causes Of Sciatica
Sciatica can be caused by a range of conditions and mechanical issues. Common causes include:
- Herniated Disc (disc bulge pressing on the sciatic nerve)
- Spinal Stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal compressing nerves)
- Piriformis Syndrome (tight piriformis muscle irritating the sciatic nerve)
- Degenerative Disc (age-related disc wear causing nerve compression)
- Spondylolisthesis (vertebra slipping forward onto another)
- Spinal Injury (trauma affecting the lower back and nerve roots)
At our Milton Keynes, Northampton and Towcester clinics, we see a wide range of sciatica cases. Our goal is to diagnose the specific root cause of your pain and guide you through a treatment plan that brings long lasting relief.
