Dr. Kline patients primary complaint is living with pain. When patients are asked to point at where it hurts, the most common symptoms are described. Leg pain, back pain, and some even grab their shoulder to pinpoint the area of most pain. Dr. Kline admits not one of them knew they suffered from Sciatica.
What is Sciatica
First, let’s identify the types of pain that can occur with Sciatica.
Pain in the buttocks and/or legs, that gets worse when sitting
Burning or tingling down the leg
Weakness, numbness or difficulty moving the leg or foot
A constant pain on one side of the buttocks
A shooting pain that makes it difficult to stand up
Dr. Kline tells his patients Sciatica is a pain. It is not a diagnosis but a symptom of a medical condition that affects the sciatic nerve; a lumbar herniated disc as an example.

Sciatica can be further described as a pain along the large sciatic nerve that runs from the lower back down through the buttocks and along the back of each leg. It is a relatively common form of back pain. Sciatica is usually caused by pressure on the sciatic nerve from a herniated disc (also referred to as a bulging disc, ruptured disc or pinched nerve). The problem is often diagnosed as a “radiculopathy”, meaning that a disc has protruded from its normal position in the vertebral column and is putting pressure on the radicular nerve (nerve root). For some people, the pain from sciatica can be severe and debilitating. For others, the pain might be infrequent and irritating, but has the potential to get worse. Usually, sciatica only affects one side, and the pain often radiates through the buttock and/or leg.
It often starts in the lower back and travels into the thigh. Sometimes the pain can reach further down the leg to the foot and toes and quite often it can be felt as a burning or tingling sensation down the leg.
