Sciatica Pain Treatment in Mumbai – Latest & Effective Options
Sciatica is a common condition caused by compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve, usually due to a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, or degenerative spine changes. It leads to sharp leg pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness that radiates from the lower back down to the leg.
Early diagnosis is essential to prevent chronic pain and nerve damage. Dr. Vishal Kundnani, a leading spine specialist in India, offers comprehensive sciatica treatment—from conservative care to advanced minimally invasive and endoscopic procedures—ensuring faster relief and long-term recovery.

Symptoms of Sciatica
Patients typically experience:
- Sharp or shooting pain in the leg
- Tingling or numbness from back to foot
- Muscle weakness
- Pain worsening when sitting, lifting, or bending
- Burning sensation along the nerve path
Persistent symptoms require prompt evaluation.
Diagnosis of Sciatica
A thorough evaluation includes:
- MRI scan to assess disc herniation or nerve compression
- X-rays to identify alignment or degeneration
- CT scan for bony detail
- Clinical examination to assess strength & nerve deficits
Early imaging helps determine the best treatment plan.
🩺 Sciatica Treatment Options in Mumbai
