About This Condition

Understanding Sciatica Treatment After Accident

Sciatica describes pain that radiates along the sciatic nerve path — from the lower back through the hip and buttock and down each leg. After a car accident, sciatica is commonly caused by a herniated disc or bone spur that compresses the nerve. The resulting inflammation causes pain, numbness, and sometimes weakness in the affected leg.
