Does every step send a jolt of pain down your leg? Does sitting for too long make your lower back ache, only for standing to feel just as unbearable? If you’ve been battling sciatic pain, you know how frustrating it is to feel trapped—unable to move the way you want, constantly searching for relief that never lasts. Maybe you’ve tried stretching, massage, or even pain meds, only to find yourself back at square one.
But here’s the truth: real relief isn’t about masking the pain—it’s about finding and fixing the root cause. So, what’s actually driving your sciatic pain, and more importantly, how can you break free from it for good? At Roscoe Physiotherapy here in Hermitage, PA, we’re here to help you get to the bottom of it.
From Back to Leg: The Journey of Sciatica and Its Impact on Your Body
Sciatica refers to pain that originates from the sciatic nerve, the largest nerve in the body, which runs from the lower back through the buttocks and down each leg. It’s typically caused by irritation or compression of the nerve, which disrupts normal function, leading to a variety of symptoms including:
-
Sharp, shooting pain that travels from the lower back down the buttock and leg (often following the sciatic nerve path).
-
Numbness or tingling in the leg, foot, or toes.
-
Burning or electric shock-like sensations running down the leg.
-
Weakness in the affected leg that makes standing, walking, or lifting difficult.
-
Pain that worsens with prolonged sitting but doesn’t fully resolve with standing.
-
Discomfort that intensifies with sudden movements like coughing, sneezing, or bending forward.

One Condition, Many Causes
Finding the Right Solution for Your Sciatic Pain
Sciatica isn’t just one-size-fits-all—its root cause can vary, which is why a cookie-cutter approach to treatment rarely works. For some, it’s lower back arthritis (spondylosis) wearing down the spine and irritating the sciatic nerve. Others may have a herniated disc, where a bulging or ruptured disc presses directly on the nerve, sending pain shooting down the leg. Then there’s piriformis syndrome, where a tight or spasming muscle in the buttock traps the sciatic nerve like a vise.
Since each of these conditions affects the nerve differently, the right treatment must be just as specific. That’s where a skilled physical therapist comes in—pinpointing the root cause and tailoring a plan to not just relieve the pain but prevent it from coming back.
