Sciatica

Sciatica

The sciatic nerve is the longest and thickest nerve in the human body, originating from the lower lumbar and sacral spine and running down the back of each leg. In orthopaedics, the sciatic nerve is of significant importance as it innervates muscles in the lower limb and provides sensory information. Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, often caused by compression or irritation of the nerve roots. Common orthopedic conditions contributing to sciatic pain include herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or piriformis syndrome. Orthopedic assessments for sciatica involve clinical examinations, imaging studies, and neurological assessments to determine the underlying cause and severity of the condition. Treatment approaches may include conservative measures such as physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, and epidural injections, or in more severe cases, surgical interventions to alleviate nerve compression.
