Sciatica pain which is commonly referred as low back pain is a very common condition that has affected people with their day-to-day activities. The annual incidence of sciatica ranges from 1% to 5% across the world. The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the body that gets affected by the disease.

Sciatica refers to the pain that is caused to the sciatic nerve when it gets compressed. This is associated with lower back pain which radiates through hip and buttocks down to the leg. Sciatica can affect one leg or in the worst case both the legs.

Although there is severe pain during the disease, sciatica can be cured with adequate rest and a proper regimen. The severity of the condition can even lead to leg weakness and bowel or bladder changes which require surgical intervention.

Common sciatica symptoms include:

  • Lower back pain
  • Radiating pain in the legs which worsens after sitting for a long while
  • Pain in the hips
  • Burning or tingling in the legs
  • Weakness in the limbs

What are the common causes of sciatica?

Sciatic pain occurs when the sciatic nerve becomes pinched, due to herniated disk in the spine or due to bone spurs (extra growth of bone) on vertebrae. Spinal stenosis i.e. narrowing spine can also compress the spinal and sciatic nerves. In few cases, the nerve gets compressed due to presence of tumour. The most common clinical features are pain, inflammation and numbness in affected legs.

Herniated disks: The vertebras which contribute to the spine are separated each other by a piece of cartilage. This cartilage is filled with thick, clear material to ensure the flexible movements and cushioning which helps to move around. Herniated disks occurs when the first layer of the cartilage rips. The substance inside will compress the sciatic nerve which leads to low back pain and numbness in the lower limbs

Spinal stenosis: Spinal stenosis is characterized with abnormal narrowing of spinal canal. Due to this narrowing, the sciatic nerve puts pressure to the roots and causes pain. It is also called as lumbar spinal stenosis.

Spondylolisthesis: Spondylolisthesis is an associated condition of degenerative disk complaint. When one spinal bone or vertebra extends, these can pinch the nerves and cause sciatic pain.

Piriformis syndrome: When the piriformis involuntary muscle contracts or tightens it pinches the sciatic nerve and causes sciatica pain. The muscles when tightened can put pressure on sciatic nerve. This is a rare neuromuscular condition. Piriformis syndrome is commonly seen in conditions of fall, accident or on long period of sitting.

Ayurveda mentions sciatica as Gridhrasi which is a vata vyadhi caused due to aggravation of vata dosha. The diseases show symptoms like Ruk (pain), Toda (numbing pain) and Stambha (stiffness) in the Kati pradesha (lumbosacral region) and radiates distal to Pristha, Janu, Jangha till Paada (feet).

An Ayurvedic commentator Arundutta in his commentary defined clearly that due to vata dosha in the kandara i.e., tendon, severe pain is experienced at the time of raising the legs which restrict its free movement. A straight leg raising test is a common test which confirms the sciatica diagnosis.
