Sciatica can be particularly unsettling because the pain often travels — from the lower back into the hip, thigh, or even down to the foot. It may feel sharp, burning, or electric, and can make sitting, driving, or walking uncomfortable. 

Many people worry that sciatica means something serious is happening, but in most cases it’s caused by irritation of the sciatic nerve from tight muscles, inflammation, or a sensitive disc. With the right exercises and guidance, symptoms usually improve steadily.
