Sciatica leg pain

What Is Sciatica?

Spine tumors are abnormal growths that develop in or around the spinal cord, spinal nerves, or the bones of the spine. These growths can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Even benign tumors can press on nerves or the spinal cord, causing pain, weakness, or movement problems if not treated early.

Symptoms of Sciatica

  • Pain in the lower back, buttock, and leg
  • Pain that worsens while sitting, bending, or coughing
  • Numbness, tingling, or burning in the leg or foot
  • Muscle weakness in the leg
  • Difficulty standing or walking for long periods

Causes of Sciatica

  • Herniated disc – Slipped disc pressing on the nerve
  • Spinal stenosis – Narrowing of the spinal canal
  • Spondylolisthesis – One vertebra slipping over another
  • Degenerative disc disease – Worn-out discs causing nerve pressure
  • Spinal injury or trauma
  • In rare cases – Tumors or infections pressing on the sciatic nerve

Who Is at Risk?

You may have a higher chance of sciatica if you have:
  • Sedentary lifestyle or long sitting hours
  • Heavy lifting or frequent bending at work
  • Overweight or obesity
  • Diabetes (nerve damage risk)
  • Age-related spine changes

Diagnosis

Doctors may recommend:
  • Physical exam – Checking reflexes, strength, and nerve function
  • X-rays – To see bone changes or arthritis
  • MRI or CT scans – To detect herniated discs or stenosis
  • Nerve studies (EMG/NCS) – To check how well the sciatic nerve is working

Treatment for Sciatica (Leg Pain)

  • Medicines – Pain relievers, muscle relaxants, and nerve medicines
  • Physiotherapy – Exercises to improve flexibility and strengthen the spine
  • Lifestyle changes – Posture correction, weight management, avoiding long sitting
  • Injections – Steroid injections to reduce inflammation around the nerve
  • Surgery – Needed if pain does not improve, or if there is weakness, nerve damage, or loss of bladder/bowel control

Advanced Treatment With O-arm® O2® Imaging

At Indospine Hospital, we use the O-arm® O2® Surgical Imaging System for advanced sciatica surgeries:
  • Provides real-time 2D & 3D images of the spine
  • Helps doctors precisely remove the herniated disc or pressure on the nerve
  • Ensures accurate screw/implant placement if stabilization is needed
  • Improves safety, recovery, and long-term results
For any spine-related concerns, feel free to contact Dr. Tarak Patel at Indospine Hospital. To book an appointment or for more information, call us at +91 99090 44981.

FAQs on Sciatica (Leg Pain)

1. Does sciatica go away on its own?
Mild cases may improve with rest, medicines, and physiotherapy, but some need advanced treatment.
Early treatment with medicines, exercises, and lifestyle changes helps. Surgery may be needed if symptoms are severe.
Yes. Long sitting can worsen pressure on the sciatic nerve and increase pain.
If pain lasts more than 6–8 weeks, or if there is weakness, numbness, or bladder/bowel issues.
It is not life-threatening, but untreated severe sciatica can cause permanent nerve damage.
