Sciatica pain is caused by an irritation, inflammation, pinching or compression of a nerve in the lower back. The most common cause is a herniated or slipped disc that causes pressure on the nerve root.
It usually affects only one side of the lower body. Often, the pain extends from the lower back all the way through the back of your thigh and down through your leg.
