Sciatica Treatment

Ayurvedic Treatment For Sciatica At Central India

About Sciatica:
Sciatica refers to pain, weakness, numbness, or tingling in the leg. It is caused by injury to or pressure on the sciatic nerve. Sciatica is a symptom of another medical problem, not a medical condition on its own.
The sciatic nerve is the largest single nerve in the body and is made up of individual nerve roots that start by branching out from the spine in the lower back and then combine to form the “sciatic nerve.” Sciatica symptoms occur when the large sciatic nerve is irritated or compressed at or near its point of origin.

• The sciatic nerve starts in the lower back, typically at lumbar segment 3 (L3).
• At each level of the lower spine, a nerve root exits from the inside of the spinal canal, and each of these respective nerve roots then come together to form the large sciatic nerve.
• The sciatic nerve runs from the lower back, through the buttock, and down the back of each leg.
• Portions of the sciatic nerve then branch out in each leg to innervate certain parts of the leg—the thigh, calf, foot, and toes.

Causes Of Sciatica

---

Sciatica occurs when there is pressure or damage to the Sciatic nerve. This nerve starts in the lower spine and runs down to the back of each leg. This nerve controls the muscles of the back of the knee and lower leg.
6 Most Common Causes of Sciatica
The following six lower back problems are the most common causes of sciatica:

• • Sacroiliac joint dysfunction
    Irritation of the sacroiliac joint—located at the bottom of the spine—can also irritate the L5 nerve, which lies on top of the sacroiliac joint, causing sciatica-type pain.

Again, this is not a true radiculopathy, but the leg pain can feel the same as sciatica caused by a nerve irritation.

• • Piriformis syndrome
    The sciatic nerve can get irritated as it runs under the piriformis muscle in the buttock. If the piriformis muscle irritates or pinches a nerve root that comprises the sciatic nerve, it can cause sciatica-type pain.

This is not a true lumbar radiculopathy, which is the clinical definition of sciatica. However, because the leg pain can feel the same as sciatica or radiculopathy, it is sometimes referred to as sciatica.

• • Lumbar spinal stenosis
    This condition commonly causes sciatica due to a narrowing of the spinal canal. Lumbar spinal stenosis is related to natural aging in the spine and is relatively common in adults older than age 60.

The condition typically results from a combination of one or more of the following: enlarged facet joints, overgrowth of soft tissue, and a bulging disc placing pressure on the nerve roots, causing sciatica pain.
Lumbar spinal stenosis commonly occurs along with spinal arthritis, and arthritis can also cause or contribute to sciatica symptoms.

• • Isthmic spondylolisthesis
    This condition occurs when a small stress fracture allows one vertebral body to slip forward on another; for example if the L5 vertebra slips forward over the S1 vertebra.

With a combination of disc space collapse, the fracture, and the vertebral body slipping forward, the nerve can get pinched and cause sciatica.

• • Degenerative disc disease
    While some level of disc degeneration is a natural process that occurs with aging, for some people one or more degenerated discs in the lower back can also irritate a nerve root and cause sciatica.

Degenerative disc disease is diagnosed when a weakened disc results in excessive micro-motion at that spinal level and inflammatory proteins from inside the disc become exposed and irritate the nerve root(s) in the area.
Bone spurs, which may develop with spinal degeneration, also may press against a nerve, resulting in sciatica.

• • Lumbar herniated disc
    A herniated disc occurs when the soft inner material of the disc leaks out, or herniates, through the fibrous outer core and irritates or pinches the contiguous nerve root.

Other terms used to refer to a herniated disc are slipped disc, ruptured disc, bulging disc, protruding disc, or a pinched nerve. Sciatica is the most common symptom of a lumbar herniated disc.

---

Sciatica Symptoms

---

Sciatica pain can vary widely. It may feel like a mild tingling, dull ache, or burning sensation.
In some cases, the pain is severe enough to make a person unable to move.
Some combination of the following symptoms is most common:

• Constant pain in only one side of the buttock or leg, but rarely on both sides
• Pain that originates in the low back or buttock and continues along the path of the sciatic nerve—down the back of the thigh and into the lower leg and foot
• Pain that feels better when patients lie down or are walking, but worsens when standing or sitting
• Pain typically described as sharp or searing, rather than dull
• A “pins-and-needles” sensation, numbness or weakness, or a prickling sensation down the leg in some cases
• Weakness or numbness when moving the leg or foot
• Severe or shooting pain in one leg, making it difficult to stand up or walk
• Pain and other symptoms in the toes, depending on where the sciatic nerve is affected
• Lower back pain that, if experienced at all, is not as severe as leg pain

Symptoms may intensify during sudden movements, such as a sneeze or a cough, or when changing positions, such as when moving from a sitting position to standing up.Certain symptoms are unique depending on the underlying cause of sciatica. For example, bending the body backward or walking more than a short distance often triggers symptoms when spinal stenosis is the cause. Bending the body forward may trigger symptoms if the cause is a lumbar herniated disc.

The number of patients came to clinic with complaints of joints pain .some have knee pain, some have wrist pain.

There are two types of arthritis.

• Dhatukshayjanya vata commonly called as sandhivata or osteoarthritis.

Sandhivata- Sandhi means joint & vata means vata dosha . Aggravation of vata dosha in sandhi means joints responsible for a disease known as sandhivata. Mainly vata dosha is responsible for sandhiwata.  Joint is made up of multiple things- like bones, cartilage, synovial fluid, tendons  & muscles. Cartilage is a cushion like structure between two joints & synovial fluid is a lubricating fluid between the joint .  The vata is dry in nature & destructive in nature. It goes into sandhisthan & causes the destruction of cartilage & surrounding structures. It also absorbs the synovial fluid between two joints causing the rubbing of two bones. As the two bones rub on each other it causes pain &  destruction of cartilage leads to restriction of movements.
Causes:-

Reactive Arthritis With Cellulitis treatment in Nagpur: Causes Of Reactive Arthritis With Cellulitis
Reactive arthritis is felt in part to be genetic. There are certain genetic markers that are far more frequent in patients with reactive arthritis than in the normal population.

Slipped Disc Treatment

Parijatak – Slipped Disc Treatment in Nagpur. Slipped disc can be termed with other descriptive names, whether your doctor calls it herniated disc or PIVD or bulged disc, it all means the same thing. Slipped disc is when one of the discs in between the vertebral bodies starts slipping towards the anterior or posterior. While pain is obvious, slipped disc can also cause difficulties in body movements.

Slipped Disc Treatment in Nagpur
A natural and non-surgical method of treating slipped disc is to opt for Ayurvedic therapies. The ancient science of Ayurveda has a rather interesting explanation of the condition. It believes that slipped disc is a cumulative effect of disorders happening at three levels. In Ayurveda, these three levels are Masta Dhatu as in muscles, Asthi Dhatu or bones and Majja Dhatu or what lies in between the two. Throwing more light on the causes of the condition, owing to poor diet, reckless lifestyle or accident, the curvature of the spinal cord starts to deteriorate. That causes the intervertebral discs to degenerate and that in turn has a drying effect on the muscles which contracts and stiffens in response.
Slipped Disc Treatment in Nagpur
Parijatak and similar other clinics have taken the lead in the city of Nagpur to treat slipped disc condition through a combination of ayurvedic therapies. Names of a few such slipped disc treatments in Nagpur are:

• Pathrapotala
• Abyanga Swedam
• Nasyam
• Pizhichil
• Choornapinda Swedam
• Greevavasthy
• Shirodhara
• Navarakizhi
• Kadeevasthy

Each of these therapies work towards healing inflammatory changes. Adjustment therapies like oil massage releases spasms and even decompresses nerves. Such slipped disc treatment in Nagpur has proven to not only relieve the patients from the constant pain and discomfort, but also strengthen the supportive tissues that lay around the vertebral column.

Amavata and Ayurveda

Amavata- means accumulation of Ama (apakwa rasa) in joints leads to the disease called as Amavata.
 
This is very painful condition of arthritis.
Ama- Viated dosha causes agnimandya (sluggish diagestion).Due to agnimandya the diagestive juice which was formed was Apakwa (unproperly diagested/immature). This apakwa rasa goes through the circulation in all over tissue and body organs. As it is immature tissue can take it but can not metabolise it .Therefore it remains as it is in cell.This Ama was sticky in nature.It blocked the all small channels in the body due to this body cells and tissues  do not get proper nutrition. And this leads to the multiple damage of organs and tissues.

Causes-
Viruddha ahar sevan
Ati guru ahar sevan-Heavy food
Atibhojan/Ajirnashana- Intake of food in very much quantity or intake of food befor its diagestion
Mandagni-sluggish diagestion
Avyayama-Lack of exersice
Nischala-sedentory life style
Snigdha,madhur bhojanam-intake of oily food and sweet things
Diwaswap-Day sleeping
Intake of fermented food

Pathogenesis-
Due to all mentioned causes ama is formed in body.The viated Vata pushes this ama to all over the body through blood circulation.This viated vata pushes this ama mainly in to the shleshma sthana(kapha Pradesh) i.e in joints and muscles.This viated vata and kapha was combined with morbid pitta which cause the further corrosing of ama .This corrosive ama destroys any tissue and organs with which it comes in to contact.
