FAQs
Sciatica is a painful condition characterized by sharp, shock-like sensations that travel down your lower back, over your buttocks, and into your legs and feet.
It occurs when your sciatic nerve –– the longest nerve in your entire body –– becomes compressed by a herniated disc or a bone spur.
Most cases of sciatica resolve on their own and respond to at-home treatments like ice and rest. If your symptoms persist, get worse, or interfere with your daily routine, contact the team at Complete Performance right away.
If you have sciatica, it’s normal to experience sharp, burning sensations in your lower back, buttocks, hips, and legs. Often, the pain is worse when you cough, sneeze, or make a sudden movement.
As the condition gets worse, you might also experience tingling or numbness in your feet and toes that make it difficult to stand, walk, or maintain your balance.
