Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve, the largest nerve in the body, becomes irritated or compressed. Symptoms can include pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness that travels from the lower back or buttock into the leg and foot. For some people the discomfort is occasional, while for others it can interfere with everyday activities such as sitting, standing, walking, driving, or sleeping.
Sciatic pain can sometimes develop after a car accident when the lower back, pelvis, muscles, or spinal joints are stressed by the impact. Symptoms may appear right away or develop over the next several days.
If you notice pain traveling into the hip, buttock, leg, or foot after an accident, it is important to be evaluated.

An examination can help determine what may be contributing to your symptoms and what treatment options may be appropriate.
