The ICD-10 code for sciatica is M54.5.
Sciatica is a condition that refers to pain that radiates along the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back down the back of each leg. This pain can be caused by a variety of factors, including a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, or piriformis syndrome.
The ICD-10 code M54.5 is used to classify sciatica in medical records and billing. It is important to note that this code may be used in conjunction with other codes to provide a more detailed diagnosis. For example, if the sciatica is caused by a herniated disc, the code M51.1 may also be used.
