Sciatica is a condition caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, often due to herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or muscle inflammation. It leads to sharp, shooting pain that radiates from the lower back down through the hips, buttocks, and legs. Other symptoms may include numbness, tingling, muscle weakness, and difficulty in movement. If left untreated, sciatica can significantly impact mobility and quality of life. Treatment focuses on reducing nerve inflammation, relieving pain, and restoring normal function. Options include physiotherapy, medications, lifestyle modifications, and in severe cases, minimally invasive procedures. Recovery time varies, with mild cases improving within a few weeks, while chronic conditions may take months to manage effectively. Dr. Garima Gupta provides expert sciatica treatment, offering personalized care through advanced pain management techniques. Her approach ensures lasting relief, improved mobility, and a better quality of life for patients struggling with sciatic nerve pain.
