Sciatica Pain Treatment Hospital

Are you feeling a shooting, burning, or sharp sensation radiating from your lower back or buttocks down the back of one leg? 

Can this sensation be described as severe cramp, jolt, or electric shock, accompanied by numbness, tingling, or weakness in the leg or foot, which worsens with sitting, coughing, or sneezing?

If yes, there is a chance of sciatica pain (also known as lumbar radiculopathy); however, your doctor will make the correct diagnosis. If you experience such symptoms, visit them promptly. Experts at the Best Sciatica Pain Treatment Hospital say that if it remains untreated, it may lead to permanent disability involving difficulty walking, lower-body paralysis, intimacy disorder, and permanent nerve damage.

Depending on the cause, milder cases of lumbar radiculopathy generally get better with self-treatment; however, severe cases may need expert care.

Sciatica pain treatment at IBS Hospital Delhi comes with minimally invasive advanced technology like intraoperative nerve monitoring. This helps provide precision care and shorter recovery time.

Is Sciatica Pain (Lumbar Radiculopathy) a Serious Condition?

Sciatica is nerve pain from an injury or irritation to the sciatic nerve (the longest and thickest nerve in the body, branching off from your spinal cord). It is commonly caused by a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, or bone spurs.

It is generally not considered a dangerous or life-threatening condition. Generally, 80-90% of cases heal on their own with conservative methods. However, people with severe conditions and serious leg weakness or bowel or bladder changes might need surgery.

In some cases, it can cause nerve damage leading to:

• Loss of sensation or weakness in the affected leg.
• Sudden loss of bowel or bladder control.
• Lower-body paralysis.
• Intimacy disorder.
• Numbness in the inner thighs, buttocks, and genital area

Visit your doctor if the symptoms don't ease and if pain lasts longer than a week, is severe, or gets worse.

Treatments at the Best Sciatica Pain Hospital

A specialist at Sciatica Pain Treatment Hospital can recommend non-surgical or surgical options based on the severity of the condition:

A. Non-Surgical Methods

These mainly focus on lowering strain on the sciatic nerve or nerve compression and reducing inflammation. These methods help relax muscles, improve blood flow, and improve posture.

1. Short‑term rest 
2. Hot and cold therapy
3. NSAIDs
4. Muscle relaxants, stronger painkillers, or nerve‑pain medicines (such as gabapentin or pregabalin)
5. Physical therapy and exercises
6. Epidural steroid injections (ESI)
7. Targeted injections for nerve‑root blocks
8. Manual therapy and massage
9. Acupuncture, chiropractic care, or yoga

B. Surgical Methods

These are recommended when non-surgical methods fail to show results and to prevent further complications such as leg weakness, numbness, or loss of bowel/bladder control.

1. Minimally invasive spine procedures: Endoscopic or micro‑surgical decompression techniques with smaller incisions (for example, microdiscectomy or foraminotomy). These are used to remove herniated disc material or bone spurs pressing on the sciatic nerve.
2. Surgery (in severe or persistent cases): Open discectomy, laminectomy, or spinal fusion. They are recommended when minimally invasive spine procedures are not effective.
