SCIATICA TREATMENT

Sciatica refers to pain that travels along the path of the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve travels from the lower back through the hips and buttocks and down each leg. Sciatica most often occurs when a herniated disk or an overgrowth of bone puts pressure on part of the nerve.

Sciatica Symptoms

Moderate to severe pain in the lower back, buttock, and down your leg.
Numbness or weakness in your lower back, buttock, leg, or feet.
Sciatica pain that worsens with movement; loss of movement.
“Pins and needles” feeling in your legs, toes, or feet.
Loss of bowel and bladder control (due to cauda equina).

Sciatica causes

Aging: The main cause is aging, but the way aging affects your spine can lead to other changes and problems (Lumbar Spondylosis). This means that the disease is progressive and irreversible.
Osteoarthritis: Osteoarthritis is a progressive (ongoing) condition that causes the cartilage in your joints to degenerate.
Bone spurs: When cartilage in the joints of the vertebrae in your spine starts to degenerate and bone tissue rubs directly against other bone tissue, abnormal bone growths develop along the edges of vertebrae.
Injury: If you’ve had an injury to your neck (during a fall or car accident, for example), this can accelerate the aging process.
Cauda equina syndrome is a rare but serious condition that affects the bundle of nerves at the end of the spinal cord called the cauda equina.
Tumors in the lumbar spinal canal compress the sciatic nerve.

Loss of feeling in the affected leg

Weakness in the affected leg
Loss of bowel or bladder function

Duration of treatment

Many patients experience symptomatic relief in cervical spondylitis in the initial four to six weeks. The total duration of treatment depends on various factors like:
