Sciatica Treatment in New Delhi
Expert diagnosis and personalized treatment by a DrNB Neurology specialist.
Overview
Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve — from the lower back, through the buttock and down the leg. It is usually caused by compression of a spinal nerve root, most commonly from a herniated disc.
The good news is that the majority of sciatica improves substantially within 6–8 weeks with the right combination of medication, posture correction and physiotherapy. A neurologist's careful examination ensures that the rare cases needing urgent intervention are identified early.
