Sciatica

Sciatica

Dr. Shamim Alig specializes in the treatment of sciatica, a condition characterized by pain radiating along the sciatic nerve, typically affecting the lower back, buttocks, and legs. With over 15 years of experience, we offer comprehensive care using advanced orthopedic techniques and personalized treatment plans to alleviate pain, restore mobility, and improve quality of life.

Our approach includes conservative treatments such as medication, physical therapy, and lifestyle modifications tailored to your needs. For severe cases, surgical interventions aimed at relieving nerve compression may be recommended.

FAQ's

Common symptoms include shooting pain that radiates from the lower back down one or both legs, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the affected leg or foot.

Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination, medical history review, and possibly imaging studies such as X-rays, MRI, or CT scans to determine the underlying cause of nerve compression.

Non-surgical treatments may include anti-inflammatory medications, pain relievers, physical therapy exercises to strengthen muscles and improve flexibility, hot or cold therapy, and epidural steroid injections to reduce inflammation.

Surgery may be considered if conservative treatments fail to provide relief or if there is significant nerve compression causing severe pain, weakness, or loss of bladder or bowel control.

Surgical options include discectomy (removal of herniated disc material pressing on the nerve), laminectomy (removal of the lamina to relieve pressure on the nerve), or spinal fusion (joining vertebrae together to stabilize the spine).
