Sciatica pain can significantly disrupt your daily life, causing discomfort, numbness, or a burning sensation that radiates from the lower back to the legs. Often resulting from conditions like a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, or piriformis syndrome, sciatica pain stems from irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve. At the Neurology and Pain Management Clinic (NPMC), Dr. Gautam Arora and his expert team specialize in effective, non-invasive, and advanced treatments to help you find lasting relief.
1. Personalized Diagnosis for Targeted Treatment
Understanding the root cause of sciatica is crucial for successful treatment. At NPMC, Dr. Arora employs advanced diagnostic tools, including MRI scans, nerve conduction studies, and physical assessments, to pinpoint the source of the problem. This thorough evaluation allows the team to create a tailored treatment plan designed to address your specific needs.
2. Non-Invasive Pain Management Options
For many patients, non-invasive therapies can provide substantial relief. NPMC offers a range of conservative treatments to alleviate pain, including:
- Physical Therapy: Customized exercises to strengthen muscles, improve posture, and reduce nerve pressure.
- Medications: Anti-inflammatory drugs and muscle relaxants to manage pain and swelling.
- Lifestyle Modifications: Guidance on ergonomics, weight management, and daily habits to prevent recurrence.
3. Advanced Interventional Treatments
When conservative methods aren’t enough, NPMC specializes in cutting-edge interventional therapies:
- Epidural Steroid Injections: These injections deliver powerful anti-inflammatory medication directly to the affected nerve root, reducing swelling and alleviating pain.
- Nerve Block Injections: Designed to interrupt pain signals, these can provide immediate and sustained relief for severe sciatica.
- Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): A minimally invasive procedure that uses heat to desensitize pain-causing nerves, offering long-term relief.
4. Neuromodulation for Chronic Cases
For patients with persistent sciatica pain, neuromodulation techniques like spinal cord stimulation (SCS) can provide life-changing results. SCS involves implanting a device that sends mild electrical pulses to block pain signals from reaching the brain. This highly effective method is ideal for those who have exhausted other treatment options.
5. Comprehensive Support for Long-Term Recovery
NPMC goes beyond treating symptoms by offering comprehensive support for long-term recovery. Patients receive personalized guidance on maintaining an active lifestyle, avoiding triggers, and incorporating mindfulness techniques to manage stress, which can exacerbate sciatica pain.
