Sciatica Explained: How Back Problems Cause Leg Pain | Dr. Thomas Bottiglieri

There are many terms used to describe radiating pain from the lower back to the legs, but one of the most common is sciatica. In this sports medicine minute, Dr. Thomas Bottiglieri explains how lumbar disc herniations, facet arthritis, and nerve root irritation can cause pain that travels from the back into the lower extremities.

Sometimes patients may not even feel back pain at all. Instead, they may experience calf cramping, hip pain, thigh pain, or discomfort radiating down the leg. These symptoms can often be confusing because the source of the pain is actually coming from the spine.

Watch this informative video to better understand sciatica, pseudo claudication, and the connection between low back conditions and leg pain.
