Sciatica & Nerve Pain Treatment
Sciatica refers to sharp, shooting, burning, or electric-like pain that travels from the lower back or buttock down the back of the thigh, calf, and foot along the course of the Sciatic Nerve. It is most commonly caused by a herniated / slip disc (L4-L5 or L5-S1) or spinal stenosis pinching the nerve root. At RRR Clinic, Mansarovar, Dr. Garima Dixit offers specialized non-surgical interventional pain management that calms the inflamed nerve root and relieves sciatica without open surgery.
Symptoms & Causes of Sciatica
- Sharp, shooting, or burning pain radiating from the lower back/buttock down one or both legs
- Tingling (pins and needles), numbness, or heaviness in the leg, calf, or toes
- Pain that worsens on sitting, coughing, sneezing, bending forward, or walking short distances
- Lumbar Disc Herniation (Slip Disc), Foraminal Stenosis, or Spondylolisthesis pinching L4, L5, or S1 nerves
- Piriformis Syndrome (compression of the sciatic nerve deep in the buttock muscle)
Advanced Non-Surgical Sciatica Relief by Dr. Garima Dixit
Instead of masking pain with heavy painkillers or rushing into spine surgery, Dr. Garima Dixit uses precision image-guided nerve blocks to reduce disc-induced chemical inflammation right around the pinched nerve root.
Clinical Approach & Care Protocol:
- Detailed neurological assessment (SLR test, reflexes, sensory/motor check) and MRI Spine correlation
- Targeted neuropathic medications to calm hyper-excited nerve fibers
- Fluoroscopy/Image-guided Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injection (Selective Nerve Root Block)
- Pulsed Radiofrequency (PRF) neuromodulation of the Dorsal Root Ganglion (DRG) for persistent radicular pain
- Ultrasound-guided Piriformis Injection and guided sciatic nerve mobilization exercises
Key Benefits
- Rapid, targeted relief from shooting leg pain, burning, and tingling
- Helps the prolapsed disc shrink naturally over time while keeping you pain-free
- Prevents the need for open spine surgery in the vast majority of sciatica patients
- Performed as a safe day-care procedure with no surgical incision or bed rest
- Enables comfortable sitting, walking, and return to normal work life
When to Consult?
- Shooting pain travelling from the lower back or hip down into the leg or foot
- Numbness, tingling, or burning sensation in the leg or toes
- Inability to sit or stand for more than 10–15 minutes due to radiating leg pain
- MRI Lumbar Spine showing nerve root compression or disc extrusion
- Sciatica not responding to rest, routine painkillers, or physiotherapy
