Sciatica Pain Ayurvedic Treatment

What is Sciatica

Sciatica (Gridhrasi) in Ayurveda is a vata disorder that causes severe radiating pain from the lower back to the leg due to nerve compression. The pain often worsens with walking, sitting or bending and may be associated with stiffness, numbness or tingling.

Ayurvedic Treatment for Sciatica

Unlike painkillers or surgery that focus on temporary sympton relief, Ayurveda mainly focuses on correcting the root cause of nerve pain by balancing Vata dosha & strengthening the spine. Therapies like Kati Vasti, Basti & Panchakarma help reduce inflammation, nourish nerves, improve spinal flexibility & provide long term natural relief without need of surgery.

Sciatica Symptoms

Early symptoms of sciatica include mild lower back pain, tingling or pins & needles sensation, pain while sitting, pain radiating from lower back to thigh, leg heaviness & difficulty in standing, sitting & bending.

Sciatica is commonly caused by slipped dis, lumbar spondylosis, prolonged sitting, poor posture, spinal injury or nerve compression that irritates the sciatica nerve & leads to radiating lower back & leg pain.
