Understanding the condition

Why choose us for Sciatica and Back Pain Treatment in Delhi

Sciatica is radiating leg pain caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve roots (often L4–S1). Common causes include a herniated (“slipped”) disc, spinal stenosis, or inflammation around the nerve. Mechanical low back pain can arise from discs, facet joints, muscles, or sacroiliac joints.

Most patients improve with a structured, conservative plan. If pain persists or there are neurological deficits, targeted injections or minimally invasive surgery may be advised.

Your questions answered

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I always need an MRI?
Not always. Many cases improve with conservative care. MRI is used when red flags are present, symptoms persist, or surgery/injections are considered.
How long does sciatica take to settle?
Many episodes improve within weeks. A structured plan and activity guidance help; persistent or severe cases may need injections or surgery.
Will I need surgery?
Only a minority do—typically when there’s ongoing nerve compression with disabling pain or weakness despite non‑surgical care.
Do you provide physiotherapy?
We do not provide in‑house physiotherapy. We supply a clear rehab protocol and coordinate with your chosen physiotherapist; referrals to external physio clinics are available.
When should I seek urgent care?
New bladder/bowel loss, saddle numbness, rapidly worsening weakness, fever, cancer history, or significant trauma—seek emergency assessment.
When can I get back to work?
Desk work often 1–2 weeks; manual work takes longer. Your plan depends on symptoms, response to care, and safety.
