Sciatica is mostly caused by lumbar spine lesions or pectus excavatum syndrome, and can be referred to orthopedics or spine surgery. If the above diseases are excluded, sciatica may also be caused by lesions of the nerves themselves, so you can consult a neurologist. Sciatica is not a specific disease, but is a clinical syndrome caused by compression of the nerve roots along the sciatic nerve pathway, radiating from the lumbosacral region through the buttocks to the lower extremities to the calves and even the ankles, resulting in burning, cutting pain, numbness and other clinical syndromes. Most sciatica patients suffer from lumbar spine lesions or pyriformis syndrome. Doctors may first recommend conservative treatments, including rest, lumbar exercises, medications, and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatments. For emergencies or when conservative treatments do not work, your doctor may recommend surgery. It is recommended that patients with sciatica symptoms, such as persistent severe low back and leg pain, accompanied by weakness and numbness of the lower limbs, affecting walking, standing and other symptoms, should go to the local hospital in time, you can hang orthopedic surgery, spine surgery, and exclude the orthopedic factors, but also hang the Department of Neurology for consultation.
