Sciatica, characterized by pain radiating along the sciatic nerve, often stems from a herniated disc in the spine. This occurs when a disc's nucleus pushes through its outer ring, compressing the nerve. Other causes include bone spurs on vertebrae, which are bony projections that can impinge on the nerve, and nerve compression due to spinal stenosis or other spinal deformities.
