About the Condition

What It Is & Why It Happens

Sciatica describes leg pain that originates from the lower back — typically from a disc bulge, facet joint or piriformis muscle pressing on the sciatic nerve.

Over 90% of cases resolve with skilled physiotherapy and time. Surgery is rarely needed — and rushing into injections often delays the deeper recovery.

Recovery outlook: Most cases settle in 4–8 weeks of skilled care. Stubborn cases 12 weeks.

Common Causes

  • Disc bulge or herniation
  • Facet joint inflammation
  • Piriformis muscle compression
  • Long periods of sitting
  • Sudden lifting injury
  • Pregnancy (can resolve post-partum)
