Sciatica

Sciatica is a sharp, radiating pain that travels from the lower back through the hip and down one leg. It can make sitting, standing, or walking uncomfortable and often disrupts daily life until the underlying nerve irritation is properly treated.

Symptoms

Signs include shooting pain down one leg, tingling or a pins-and-needles feeling, numbness, weakness in the leg or foot, and pain that worsens while sitting or coughing.

Common Causes

Sciatica usually results from a herniated disc, narrowing of the spinal canal, or other conditions that press on the sciatic nerve.

Treatment and Process

Dr. Ritu Pauranik identifies the exact nerve involved through examination and imaging. Treatment may include medication, physiotherapy, and precise image-guided injections such as epidural or transforaminal injections placed directly near the irritated nerve. These gentle, day-care procedures reduce inflammation and often help patients avoid spine surgery.
