Back pain & sciatica treatment in Vadodara

Signs your back needs attention

• A dull ache or stiffness in the lower back, often worse in the morning or after sitting
• Pain when bending, lifting, or getting up from the floor or a low chair
• Pain that travels into the buttock or down the leg — often called sciatica
• Tingling, numbness or a heavy feeling in one leg
• Back pain that keeps returning every few months

Common causes we see

Back pain rarely has a single cause. In our clinic in Vadodara we most often see it linked to:

• Long hours of sitting — office work, studies, driving, and long two-wheeler rides
• Lifting or bending awkwardly, especially lifting while twisting
• A bulging disc (“slip disc”) pressing on a nerve, which can cause sciatica
• Lumbar spondylosis — normal age-related changes in the spine that can stiffen it
• Weak core and hip muscles, so the back takes more load than it should
• Pregnancy and the months after delivery, when posture and muscles change

How we treat back pain at Nisarg

1. A careful assessment first

Dr. Hemal starts by asking how your pain began, what makes it better or worse, and how it affects your day. She checks how your back moves, tests the strength and nerves in your legs, looks at your posture, and goes through any reports you bring. This tells us whether the pain is coming from muscles, joints, a disc or a nerve — and what to treat first.

2. Easing the pain

To calm a painful back we use hands-on soft tissue mobilisation, electrotherapy such as TENS and ultrasound, heat, and — where it suits the problem — lumbar traction. These make movement easier so the real work can begin.

3. Exercise that fixes the cause

The long-term answer is almost always the right exercise. We teach you gentle movements first, then build strength in your core, hips and back, and improve flexibility. Exercises are checked at every visit and adjusted as you improve.

4. Habits and home care

We show you how to sit, sleep, bend and lift in ways that protect your back, and give you a short home programme so recovery continues between visits.

What you can do at home today

• Keep moving gently. Short, easy walks are better than lying in bed all day.
• Change position often. If you sit for work, stand up and move every 30–45 minutes.
• Use warmth for a stiff or spasming back — a warm shower or hot water bag for 15–20 minutes.
• Lift with your knees and hips, keep the load close to your body, and avoid twisting while lifting.
• Sleep comfortably — on your side with a pillow between your knees, or on your back with a pillow under your knees.
