Sciatica Ayurveda treatment in Kerala

Cause of illness:

According to Ayurveda, Sciatica is usually caused by an increase of "vatha dosha". The buttocks and thigh portion and legs are serviced by the Sciatica nerve. Extreme Forcing of the Sciatica nerve and inflammation of the areas surrounding the Sciatica nerve lead to this medical condition. The damage of the Sciatica nerve slows down the conduction of the impulses through the nerve. Damage to the Sciatica nerve can be caused through high effort activities such as lifting weights, over-exposure to cold wind. Continuous sitting or lying with pressure on the buttocks can damage the nerve. Diseases such as diabetes can typically damage many different nerves and also the Sciatica nerve. The Sciatica nerve could also be injured by fracture of the pelvis to the buttocks or thighs.
