Sciatica is a common condition associated with pain, numbness, and muscle weakness in the hip, buttock, leg, calf, and foot.
The sciatic nerve is the longest and largest of all nerves, running from the spinal column near the pelvis down each leg and can be as wide as your thumb. Each sciatic nerve is made up of five smaller nerves that branch into the thigh, knee, calf, ankle, and foot. Sciatica occurs when this nerve is compressed, irritated, or inflamed.
