Sciatica treatment in Kannur at Manthra Health & Wellness Hospital eliminates radiating leg pain, numbness, and weakness caused by sciatic nerve compression at the lumbar spine — without surgery in the overwhelming majority of cases. Sciatica is one of the most commonly treated conditions at Manthra Wellness, affecting people across Kannur's workforce: desk workers, teachers, drivers, agricultural workers, and anyone with a sedentary lifestyle combined with disc degeneration.
Sciatica is caused by compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve — usually from a herniated lumbar disc (L4-L5 or L5-S1 levels, most commonly), degenerative disc disease with osteophytic nerve root compression, piriformis syndrome (sciatic nerve compression by the piriformis muscle — the "false sciatica"), or spinal stenosis. Accurate diagnosis of the cause determines the optimal treatment approach.
For disc herniation-related sciatica at Manthra Wellness Kannur: Spinal Decompression Therapy (our most effective treatment — creates negative intradiscal pressure drawing the herniated disc material away from the nerve), McKenzie Directional Exercises (specific extension or flexion exercises that centralise the leg pain), Neural Mobilisation (sciatic nerve mobilisation to reduce nerve adhesions), Piriformis release (dry needling and stretching if piriformis syndrome is contributing), Epidural steroid injection referral (for severe, non-responding cases requiring temporary nerve inflammation reduction), and the avoidance of positions and activities that peripheralise (worsen) the leg pain.
Red flags requiring urgent orthopaedic or neurosurgical referral from Manthra Wellness Kannur: Cauda equina syndrome (bilateral leg pain/weakness + bladder/bowel involvement — requires emergency surgery). All patients presenting with these features are urgently referred for surgical assessment.
