Understanding Your Injury
The sciatic nerve is the longest nerve in the body, running from the lower spine through the buttock and down the leg. Car accident trauma can herniate the L4-L5 or L5-S1 discs, compressing the nerve roots that form the sciatic nerve. The sudden axial compressive load during a crash - particularly rear-end collisions where the spine is compressed and then hyperextended - is a recognized mechanism for lumbar disc herniation. Piriformis syndrome, where the piriformis muscle goes into spasm after trauma and compresses the sciatic nerve at the hip, is another common post-accident cause. Symptoms include shooting or burning pain down the buttock and leg, numbness in the foot, and weakness in the hip or knee.

Common Questions
Yes. Lumbar disc herniation - the most common cause of sciatica - is a well-established car accident injury, particularly from rear-end collisions. If you have pain radiating down your leg after a crash near Rossmoor, our Glendale clinic is about 30 miles away and ready to evaluate and treat you the same day on personal injury lien.
The cause and legal significance differ. Regular sciatica often develops gradually from degenerative disc disease or repetitive strain. Post-accident sciatica is caused by acute trauma - sudden disc herniation or piriformis injury from collision forces. Establishing this causal relationship through early evaluation and consistent treatment is essential for your personal injury case.
Physical therapy is the first-line evidence-based treatment for post-accident sciatica and resolves symptoms in the majority of patients without surgery. Lumbar traction, nerve mobilization, core stabilization, and acupuncture together reduce disc pressure, decrease nerve inflammation, and restore functional movement. Most patients see significant improvement within 4 to 8 weeks of starting treatment.
