Sciatica is nerve pain that radiates from the lower back down one or both legs, often caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve. A common cause is a disc herniation, where the soft inner material of a spinal disc pushes through its outer layer, pressing on nearby nerves. A disc bulge is similar but involves a broader, less severe protrusion that can still cause pain, numbness, or weakness. These conditions may result from injury, repetitive strain, or natural degeneration.

Treatment focuses on relieving nerve pressure, reducing inflammation, and restoring mobility. Options include targeted care, spinal decompression therapy, and rehabilitative exercises to promote healing and prevent recurrence. Addressing the problem early can reduce discomfort and avoid more invasive procedures.
