Sciatica is a condition that causes pain radiating from the lower back down to the leg due to compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve. It can affect mobility and daily life if not treated early.
Dr. Sneha Sharma offers advanced diagnosis and provides the best sciatica treatment in Gurugram, focusing on relieving nerve pressure, improving mobility, and preventing recurrence through personalized care.

What Is Sciatica Treatment?

Sciatica treatment focuses on reducing pressure on the sciatic nerve and addressing the underlying cause such as a slipped disc, spinal stenosis, or nerve inflammation.
Treatment includes non-surgical methods, targeted therapies, and minimally invasive procedures depending on the severity of symptoms.

Why Does Sciatica Happen?

Sciatica usually develops due to conditions affecting the lower spine, including:

• Slipped or herniated disc

• Spinal stenosis

• Degenerative disc disease

• Bone spurs in the spine

• Injury or trauma to the lower back

• Prolonged sitting and poor posture

• Muscle tightness or nerve compression

Early treatment by Dr. Sneha Sharma can help prevent worsening of symptoms and long-term nerve damage.

Procedure / Diagnosis

The diagnosis of sciatica typically involves:

1. Detailed medical history review

2. Physical and neurological examination

3. Assessment of nerve pain and movement

4. MRI or imaging tests to identify nerve compression

5. Personalized treatment planning

This process helps determine the exact cause of sciatic nerve pain.
