Sciatica describes pain that runs from the buttocks to the hip, thigh, or leg. Often, sciatica involves one side, but in some, it can lead to sciatic nerve pain down both legs. Also, in some, sciatica pain can alternate between the legs.
Over 95% of sciatic pain patients have underlying spinal disc issues. Bulging and herniated spinal discs at L4-L5 and L5-S1 are the top leading causes of sciatic nerve pain. Sciatica, sciatica pain, or an irritated sciatic nerve are serious health issues. In the old days, most believed piriformis muscle spasms were the leading cause of sciatica. However, since the advent of MRI (\Magnetic Resonance Imaging) and clinical trials, researchers are now sure the main culprit is a slipped disc. A slipped disc or slip-disc is a general term given to various forms of spinal disc issues, including:
What makes sciatica pain challenging is its affinity to present with multiple co-condition.

An MRI scan uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves to show soft tissues that ordinary X-rays cannot display well, including spinal discs, nerve roots, cartilage, ligaments and muscle. What an MRI cannot show is pain itself, which is why a scan finding must be interpreted alongside symptoms and examination findings.
How a disc gets damaged is easier to understand once the disc structure is clear. Each spinal disc has a tough outer annulus made of layered fibers and a softer, water-rich center. Disc change usually develops gradually as those outer fibers are repeatedly loaded, although a sudden injury can sometimes make an existing problem symptomatic.
An L5-S1 herniated disc or disc bulge often shows up as low back pain or a cramp-like ache in one buttock. When a slipped disc at L5-S1 reaches the S1 nerve root, pain or numbness can run down the leg to the outer foot.
Nerve pain has a character that distinguishes it from muscle and joint pain, and the description patients give is often the most useful information an examiner receives. It is burning, electric or shooting, travels in a line, and may carry numbness, pins and needles or weakness with it.
Spine surgery covers several distinct operations. A discectomy removes the portion of disc pressing on a nerve root. A laminectomy removes bone from the back of the vertebra to widen a narrowed canal. A fusion joins two vertebrae so that the segment between them stops moving.
Enlarged facet joints show up on many spine MRI reports, often next to a bulging disc. Yama Zafer, D.C., explains what bilateral, mild and multilevel findings mean and why wear starts in the disc. He also covers the signs that point to a nerve, and how focused, non-rotatory care is planned in Kuala Lumpur.
A thickened ligamentum flavum on an MRI report narrows the back of the spinal canal. This guide covers what it means for the nerves, why the ligament buckles as the disc wears, and how care begins with mechanics.
