What is Sciatica?

Understanding Sciatic Nerve Pain

Sciatica refers to a set of symptoms caused by irritation, inflammation, or compression of the sciatic nerve—the largest nerve in the body. This nerve originates in the lower spine (lumbar region), travels through the glute, and extends down the back of each leg into the foot.


Rather than being a specific diagnosis, sciatica is a symptom of an underlying mechanical issue, most commonly involving the lumbar spine and surrounding structures.


Common Symptoms Include:


  • Radiating pain from the low back into the hip and/or leg
  • Burning, tingling, pain, or numbness in the leg or foot
  • Sharp or shooting pain with movement
  • Increased pain with sitting, bending, or prolonged positions

Gold Standard for Sciatica Treatment

Mechanical Diagnosis & Therapy (McKenzie Method)

At Denver Spine & Performance, we use Mechanical Diagnosis & Therapy (MDT)—also known as the McKenzie Method—which is widely recognized as the gold standard for sciatica treatment and spinal care.


  • Personalized Movement Assessment
    We assess how your spine responds to repeated movements to identify the exact cause of your symptoms.
  • Find Your Direction of Preference
    Specific movements can reduce or centralize your pain (moving it out of your leg and back toward your spine)—a key indicator of healing.
  • Active, Exercise-Based Treatment
    You’ll learn targeted exercises that you can use to relieve your symptoms anytime.
  • Faster, Measurable Results
    Many patients notice improvement within the first few visits when the correct movement strategy is applied.
