What Is Sciatica?
Sciaticais not a diagnosis in itself — it is a symptom. It describes pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back through the buttocks and down each leg to the foot. The pain can range from a mild dull ache to sharp, electric-shock-like jolts that make walking or sitting almost impossible. At Nexus Pain & Spine, Mumbai, we are experienced in identifying the exact cause of your sciatica and treating it effectively.
What Causes Sciatica?
- Herniatedorslippeddisc in the lumbar spine (most common cause)
- Lumbar spinal stenosis — narrowing of the spinal canal
- Piriformis syndrome — the sciatic nerve being compressed by the piriformis muscle
- Degenerative disc disease
- Spondylolisthesis — one vertebra slipping over another
- Sacroiliac joint dysfunction
- Rarely — tumour, infection, or fracture near the nerve
Symptoms of Sciatica
- Painstartinginthe lower back or buttock, running down one leg
- Tingling, numbness, or ‘pins and needles’ in the leg or foot
- Muscle weakness in the affected leg
- Pain worsening with sitting, coughing, sneezing, or prolonged standing
- Difficulty walking or climbing stairs
- In severe cases: loss of bowel/bladder control (urgent — seek immediate care)
Sciatica Treatment at Nexus — Our Step-by-Step Approach
Step 1: Accurate Diagnosis
We review your MRI, clinical history, and perform a focused neurological examination to identify exactly which nerve root is compressed and why.
Step 2: Targeted Lumbar Epidural Injection
This is the cornerstone of acute sciatica management. A fluoroscopy-guided injection delivers antiinflammatory medication directly to the inflamed nerve root — most patients experience 70–90% pain relief within 2–5 days.
Step 3: Physiotherapy & Core Stabilisation
Once pain is controlled, our physiotherapists begin a structured programme to address the root mechanical cause — strengthening core muscles, correcting posture, and reducing disc pressure.
Step 4: Medications
Anti-inflammatories and neuropathic agents help manage the nerve pain component while the disc heals.
Step 5: Advanced Interventions if Needed
For persistent or severe sciatica, we may consider pulsed radiofrequency of the dorsal root ganglion, or refer for minimally invasive surgical consultation
