Sciatica is a painful condition caused by compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back through the hips and down each leg. It often results in pain, numbness, or a burning sensation in the lower back, buttocks, and legs.
According to Ayurveda, sciatica arises due to an imbalance of the Vata dosha, leading to nerve irritation and muscular tension. Dr. Padmasiri Udugama’s Ayurvedic treatments focus on reducing inflammation, easing nerve compression, and restoring natural balance through herbal medicines, medicated oil therapies, and traditional massage techniques. These treatments help relieve pain and improve mobility, offering long-lasting comfort and recovery.
