Sciatica can cause sharp, radiating pain that travels from your lower back down to your legs, often disrupting daily activities and affecting mobility. At Ayursh, we combine traditional Ayurvedic therapies like Patra Pinda Sweda, Shashtika Shali Pinda Sweda, and Kati Basti to offer holistic, long-lasting relief from sciatica pain in Bangalore.
Our therapies are designed to balance the body’s Vata dosha, reduce nerve inflammation, and restore natural alignment – helping you move freely and live pain-free again.
Understanding Sciatica and Its Causes
Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve. The longest nerve in the body gets compressed or irritated. This often leads to pain, tingling, or numbness that radiates from the lower back to the buttocks and legs.
Common causes include:
- Herniated or slipped disc
- Poor posture or prolonged sitting
- Muscle tightness or spinal misalignment
- Degeneration of spinal discs
From an Ayurvedic perspective, sciatica is known as “Gridhrasi”, a condition caused by aggravated Vata dosha. The imbalance leads to stiffness, nerve irritation, and pain. Ayurvedic therapies aim to pacify Vata, strengthen muscles, and improve nerve function for deep, sustainable healing.
