Sciatica Treatment

The sciatic nerve happens to be the largest nerve in our body. It starts from the lower part of the spinal cord and runs down through the hips and the back of the thigh into the lower leg and foot.  The word ‘Sciatica ‘describes a condition of pain and sometimes numbness in the area through which the sciatic nerve passes. Homeopathic medicines can be of   great help to patients who suffer from sciatica. Homeopathic treatment of sciatica usually produces no side effect and the relief is mostly very effective.

Sciatica or the pain in the course of the sciatic nerve occurs when there is a compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve by a problem in the lower back or in the course of sciatic nerve. The most common back problems that cause this kind of pain is the disc prolapse or the disc bulge other conditions being spodylolithesis (slipping of vertebrae one over the other) and spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal).

Our spine comprises of mainly three structures; bones (vertebrae), the intervertebral disks and the spinal cord. Spinal Bones called as vertebrae are stacked one on top of each other to form the spine or the backbone. Through these spinal bones passes the spinal cord. Intervertabral Discs are a kind of cushions (which act like small shock absorbers and also help in provide flexibility to the backbone) that are positioned between two vertebrae. It is when these discs get pushed (due to aging and wear -tear and arthritis), that the nerve roots of sciatic nerve get compressed or irritated. This leads to an inflammation on the nerve roots causing pain in the course of sciatic nerve.

Sciatica pain usually radiates from the lower part of the back through the buttocks and into the back of the leg and calf muscle. Sciatica pain can range from a very mild ache or spasm in the back of the leg to a very severe incapacitating pain. It can at times be felt like sudden electric shocks or jolts. Usually, only one leg is affected by sciatica. Sciatica pain may also be accompanied by feeling of numbness and weakness in the leg and foot. Patients suffering from sciatica may also complain of tingling or pins and needle sensation in toes and foot. In an advanced case of disc bulge and nerve compression patients may lose their control over bladder and bowel movement. This is a rare but a serious condition and requires an immediate emergency care.

Homeopathic treatment for sciatica is of great help in reliving the pain and treating the disc bulge effectively. Homeopathic medicines are able to help by improving the degenerative changes  in the disc and the vertebrae. Homeo medicines also effectively treat the inflammation on the nerve roots caused by compression thereby reducing the sciatica pain. Homeopathic medicines Rhus tox , Arnica Calcarea Flour are very useful in treating the Arthritic changes  lumbar spine. For reducing neuritis (inflammation of nerve) homeopathic medicines Colocynth ,Magnesium Phos and Hypericum have wonderful properties. Gnaphlium is very effective in treating sciatica that is accompanied by numbness in the leg.

    Hi Dr. Sharma,

    I have a sciatic nerve pain on my lower back from my buttocks to my left leg and calf. I feel numbness on my right foot. It’s so painful that sometimes I cannot stand straight it really hurts. I m taking pain reliever naproxen 500mg, gabapentin 300mg 2x a day naproxen as needed. I only take this medicines if I cannot stand the pain. As much as possible I don’t want to take pain relievers I just endure the pain. I am taking vitamins such as magnesium, sea kelp for my thyroid., Vit. e , C, Vit. d3 2000. I had MRI and the findings : The conus modulars is unremarkable. Multilevel mild anterior end plate spurring. What does it means Dr. my doctor says that it’s not curable. But I don’t believe. What I believe in is in every illness there’s a cure .Your response is essential. Thank you Drs.

  9. Madhur Agarwal says:

    Hello Sir,

    My younger brother who is 29 years old started having severe pain radiating in his left leg for about 4 weeks ago. It would start from his buttock, thigh and all of his left leg. He would describe the pain as electric shock and sometimes tingling of needles including numbness in his leg. He was hospitalized for a week and put on static traction on both of his legs after he reported acute pain and couldn’t even stand or sit or walk. We visited ortho as well as neuro and we are seeing somewhat different advices on treatment . One would recommend an immediate surgery then other would prescribe medicines for a month followed by an epidural injection and then also if no relief going for surgery.

    His MRI reads as below:

    – Mild loss of lumbar lordosis.
    – L4/5 and L5/S1 inter vertebral discs are dessicated.
    – At L4/5 level mild diffuse disc bulge with mild ligamentum flavum thickening is seen causing mild indentation over thecal sac with mild compromise of bilateral lateral recess and exit foramina.
    – At L5/S1 level diffuse disc bulge with postero central disc protrusion and mild ligamentum flavum thickening are seen causing indentation over thecal sac without mild compromise of lateral recess and exit foramina.

    Please help him in overcoming this, he is only 29, an ordinary shopkeeper, married with two kids and also look after parents. Not only him, this is impacting 5 more lives who are wholly dependent on him as he being the only earning member in the family.

    It would be of great help if you could prescribe homeo medicines and get him relief so that he could go back to live his normal life. Thank you a lot.

    Eagerly waiting for your reply Sir!

  15. Surya Bahadur Singh says:

    Dera Dr. Sharma,

    One of my relatives has problem in the back. MRI report showed the following impressions:

    1) Degenerative changes in the cervical spine, and
    2) Thickening of posterior longitudinal ligament with resultant severe stenosis of central spinal and severe compression of spinal cord resulting in marked thinning of spinal cord (C3-C6).

    I would appreciate your kind advice – what would be the appropriate ayurvedic medicines to treat this problem and what other advices you would prescribe for him.

    Regards,
    Surya Singh
