Sciatica Health Center
Sciatica is a term used to describe the symptoms of leg pain and possibly tingling, numbness or weakness that travels down the low back down via the sciatic nerve in the back of the leg. Sciatica (sometimes known as radiculopathy) is a description of symptoms, not a diagnosis. A Herniated disc, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, and spondylolisthesis can all cause sciatica, but it's up to a patient and his or her doctor to determine the proper course of action.
