Ayurveda Treatment for sciatica

Sciatica, or a group of symptoms, is more akin to a syndrome than an injury or a disease. It can therefore be caused by many different underlying mechanisms. Sciatica can be frustrating and confusing for both the patient and healthcare professionals seeking a correct diagnosis. However, it is usually caused by irritation of the spinal nerve roots.The lumbar pain is also known as lumbar radiculopathy because the nerve roots that are irritated are in the lower back. Most commonly, the irritation comes from bone spurs or disc tissue that compresses the nerve. Nerves can be compressed by other structures such as tumors, fractured bones, or inflammatory processes. 

The following are some common causes of spinal cord compression:

• A ruptured disc is a disc that has a gel-like centre. It occurs when the outer ring of the disc (the annulus) tears. The herniation places pressure on the nerve roots that are located right next to the disc. Herniated disks can occur as a result of wear and tear over time, or an acute injury.
• Spinal Stenosis is a narrowing in the canal housing the spinal nerves.
• Compression of the sciatic nerve outside the spine is less common.
•  Bone or muscle injuries around or in the buttocks, such as a hip fracture  ○ Tumors and infections are examples of diseases.  
• Pregnancy  
• Hip replacement surgery  
• Piriformis syndrome  

Sciatica is often caused by irritation of the sciatica nerve, which travels along the leg and buttock. Sciatica is often caused by scar tissue around the nerves, which can occur as a result either of a hamstring injury or hamstring surgery. Sciatica is treated with surgical release, or ultrasound-guided hydrodissection.
