What are the typical reasons for sciatica?

Sciatica can occur due to factors that compress or irritate the sciatic nerve. Additionally, it may arise from conditions such as pregnancy, obesity, a sedentary lifestyle, or poor posture. Depending on the root cause, the severity of sciatica symptoms can profoundly affect your daily life.

Here are the typical causes of sciatica that our physical therapists at DuPont Physical Therapy in DuPont, WA commonly encounter:

Piriformis Syndrome

The piriformis muscle, situated deep in the buttock region, can tighten or spasm, leading to irritation of the sciatic nerve.

Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction

Irritation or inflammation of the sacroiliac joint, where the spine meets the pelvis, can result in pain similar to sciatica.

Lumbar Herniated Disc

A herniated disc, which transpires when the soft material between the vertebrae ruptures or bulges, is the predominant cause of sciatica.

Spondylolisthesis

This condition, known as spondylolisthesis, involves the forward slippage of a vertebra in the lower spine, potentially compressing the sciatic nerve. Though rare, if the slippage progresses significantly, surgery may be necessary to stabilize and prevent further deterioration.

Lumbar Spinal Stenosis

Spinal stenosis refers to the narrowing of the spaces where nerves exit the spinal canal. This compression can affect nerves, including the sciatic nerve, leading to pain and discomfort akin to sciatica symptoms. Stenosis commonly impacts both lower extremities, in contrast to sciatica, which typically affects one side.

With a comprehensive understanding of the common causes of sciatica, coupled with holistic and evidence-based physical therapy in DuPont, WA, you can achieve lasting relief and regain your freedom of movement.
