Ayurvedic and Medical Astrology Treatment of Sciatica

What is Sciatica?

Sciatica is a symptom and consists of severe leg pain, which sometimes might resemble cramps. Shooting pain can make it nearly impossible to stand or sit properly. The pain may worsen when sitting, sneezing, or coughing. It can occur suddenly or develop gradually, especially in people whose profession requires long hours of standing. Sciatica brings weakness, numbness, and a burning or tingling sensation down the leg. In less common cases, it may cause an inability to bend the knee properly or move the foot and toes correctly.

What Causes Sciatica?

Sciatica is mostly seen as a symptom of a “pinched nerve,” which can affect one or more of the lower spinal nerves. The nerve might be pinched inside or outside the spinal canal as it runs down the leg.

Conditions That Cause Sciatica

Slipped Disc: A slipped disc that puts pressure on a nerve root is one of the most common causes of sciatica.
Piriformis Syndrome: This develops in the piriformis muscle, a small muscle in the buttocks, which can become tight or spasm, putting pressure on and irritating the sciatic nerve.
Spinal Stenosis: This medical condition results in the narrowing of the spinal canal, putting pressure on the nerves.
Spondylolisthesis: A slipped disc in which one vertebra moves out of line with the one above, narrowing the opening through which the nerves exit.

Complications Associated with Sciatica

If left untreated, sciatica can lead to chronic and lasting pain. If the “pinched nerve” is seriously injured, it may cause chronic muscle weakness, such as drop foot (difficulty lifting the front part of the foot).

Can Sciatica Be Prevented?

Some causes of sciatica cannot be prevented, such as:

Degenerative disc disease
Back strain due to pregnancy
Accidental falls

Ayurveda and Sciatica

Ayurveda is highly effective in treating sciatica (Gridhrasi), one of the 80 types of Vata imbalance (neurological/neuromuscular disorders). The term Gridhrasi is derived from Gridhra (vulture) because the pain resembles the suffering of a vulture’s prey.

Types of Sciatica in Ayurveda

Based on Dosha imbalance, Sciatica (Gridhrasi) is classified into two types:

1. Vataja Gridhrasi

Curved posture (altered gait) due to pain
Severe stiffness
Pulsation in back, hip, thigh, knee, and foreleg

2. Vata-Kaphaja Gridhrasi

Along with the above symptoms, patients may experience:

Indigestion
Drowsiness
Nausea
Anorexia
Heaviness of the leg
Freezing sensation in the lower limbs

Medical Astrology and Sciatica

Ayurveda and medical astrology are closely related. If medical conditions are sound yet a person still suffers from sciatica, planetary positions in the horoscope may be responsible. A professional medical astrologer can analyze the horoscope to identify planetary imbalances that may be causing sciatica and provide remedies.
