Sciatica is a condition caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, leading to pain that radiates from the lower back down to the legs. Early diagnosis and proper management are essential to relieve pain, restore mobility, and prevent complications. We Are Spine provides advanced Sciatica Treatment in Mumbai with personalized care, precise diagnosis, and effective treatment options.
What Is Sciatica?
Sciatica refers to pain, numbness, or tingling along the path of the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back through the hips, buttocks, and down each leg. It is often caused by spinal issues such as herniated discs, bone spurs, or spinal stenosis that compress or irritate the nerve.
Symptoms of Sciatica
Common signs of sciatica include:
- Sharp, shooting pain radiating from the lower back to the leg
- Numbness or tingling in the leg or foot
- Weakness in the affected leg
- Difficulty standing, walking, or sitting for long periods
- Pain that worsens with movement, coughing, or sneezing
Diagnosis of Sciatica
Accurate Diagnosis of Sciatica is crucial for effective treatment. Our approach includes:
- Physical examination to assess pain, reflexes, and muscle strength
- Imaging tests such as MRI or CT scans to locate nerve compression
- Neurological evaluation to check nerve function and identify deficits
Sciatica Treatment Options
1. Conservative Treatments:
- Pain relief medications and anti-inflammatories
- Physical therapy to strengthen back and core muscles

Is sciatica serious?
Sciatica is usually not life-threatening but can become serious if left untreated. Severe cases may lead to permanent nerve damage, mobility issues, or loss of bladder/bowel control.
