Disorders known to cause sciatic nerve pain can be but not limited to: vertebral subluxations (misaligned vertebral bodies), herniated/bulging discs or slipped discs, pregnancy and associated childbirth, tumors and non-spinal disorders such as diabetes, constipation or even sitting too long on uneven surfaces.
Extra causes such as kidney diseases or urinary tract infections that can lead to referred pain or even irritate the lumbar-sacral nerves should be considered as well. Pain can be described as dull, achy, sharp and/or with pins and needles. Burning, numbness and tingling sensation can easily be experienced.
