Sciatica refers to sciatic nerve pain, which can be felt anywhere along the sciatic nerve’s extensive pathway. This nerve starts in the lower back and extends through the back of the hip, buttocks, leg, and into the foot. Pain can occur anywhere along this path.

Most cases of sciatica are felt down the left side of the body, though it can affect the right side as well. Bilateral (both sides) sciatica is rare. The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the body, branching off like a tree into multiple directions as it travels down the leg. Sciatic nerve pain can affect the lower back, hip, buttocks, groin, leg, and foot.

Sciatica can cause hip and groin pain because the nerve roots involved in the sciatic nerve connect with nerves that supply these areas. The pain can range from mild to chronic and debilitating. It may cause muscle weakness, sensory disturbances, and numbness. Symptoms can vary greatly—from sharp, shooting pain or zapping sensations to dull aches, tightness, or a feeling of compression.

Unfortunately, sciatica often comes with flare-ups, where symptoms intensify temporarily and then subside. These patterns are commonly triggered by certain activities or movements that irritate the nerve.

The most common cause of sciatic pain is nerve compression in the lumbar spine. This can occur due to misalignment of the spinal bones, disc herniation, bone spurs, spinal stenosis, spinal tumors, or scoliosis. While compression typically occurs at the spine, the nerve can also be compressed outside of it—for example, by tight gluteal muscles during muscle spasms, or by trauma or injury in the leg.

Scoliosis, especially in adults, is a common underlying cause. When scoliosis causes an unnatural spinal curvature—often a left bend with right rotation in the lumbar spine—it can compress or irritate the sciatic nerve. Left lumbar scoliosis is the most common type and often correlates with left-sided sciatica. This tends to affect adult patients more than adolescents, as progression in adulthood leads to more compression.

As scoliosis progresses, it can also contribute to disc problems and spinal degeneration, all of which may worsen nerve compression. Sciatica, while often labeled as a diagnosis, is really a collection of symptoms caused by pressure on the sciatic nerve. It’s not something you “catch,” but a result of underlying structural problems—primarily nerve compression.

The first step in resolving sciatic pain is identifying and addressing the cause—most commonly, misalignment in the lumbar spine. Realigning the spine, particularly in cases of scoliosis, can help relieve pressure on the nerve. Improving spinal alignment is key to decompressing nerve tissue and reducing or eliminating sciatic symptoms.
