Back pain, slip disc and sciatica (કમરનો દુખાવો, સાયટીકા)
Back pain can come from muscle strain, poor posture, long hours of sitting, or a disc in the spine pressing on a nerve. When a nerve is pressed, pain can travel down the leg. This is called sciatica.
Symptoms
- Pain in the lower back, buttock or down one leg
- Tingling, numbness or weakness in the leg or foot
- Pain that increases on bending, lifting or sitting for long
- Stiffness in the morning
Treatment at Rudram
