Sciatica is often caused by a herniated lumbar disc, where the nucleus pulposus breaks through the fibrous ring, leading to a series of nerve root compressions. Symptoms include sciatic nerve pain extending along the lateral side of the buttock and thigh, numbness, and pain on the dorsum of the leg and foot. Walking becomes difficult, with sensations of shortened tendons, and dressing or putting on socks in the morning feels particularly strenuous. Diagnosis can usually be confirmed with a CT scan of the lumbar spine. Once diagnosed, it is recommended that patients use medications that promote blood circulation and alleviate pain, or drugs that nourish the nerves. Strict bed rest is crucial, along with local heat application. During medication, foods that are spicy and stimuli like alcohol can have an impact, although some medications require the use of yellow wine, this is an exception. However, it is best to avoid spicy foods during the medication period. Strict bed rest should continue generally for ten days, after which symptoms should ease and gradually disappear. Treatments may also include traction, which can effectively relieve nerve compression and restore the normal physiological curvature of the lumbar spine, reducing compressive symptoms. If conservative treatment fails, interventional surgery, such as ozone ablation surgery, may be considered. This is a frequently used method with decent effectiveness, but there is a possibility of recurrence. (Medication should be used under the guidance of a doctor.)
