Sciatica is a common condition that causes pain starting in the lower back and traveling down the leg, making daily life difficult. It happens when the sciatic nerve, the largest nerve in the body, gets compressed or pinched. Here’s the inspiring journey of Mr. Atar Singh, one of our patients, who found relief with modern medical treatment.

Atar Singh, a 40-year-old, from Gurgaon, came to us in unbearable pain. For two months, he had been suffering from severe lower back pain and left-leg sciatica. His daily activities had become impossible. Even basic tasks like getting out of bed, sitting, standing, or walking a few steps were excruciating. He could lift his right leg, but trying to lift his left leg caused severe sciatic pain.

Atar had tried several therapies, but none of them had worked, including medications, physical therapy, exercises, and even Ayurvedic treatments. He was in critical condition when he came to us. The pain was so severe that he was unable to sleep, turn in bed, or even lift his left leg.

After a thorough check-up, we did an MRI scan and found a serious disc problem in the lower spine at the L5-S1 level. The disc was bulging out and pressing on the left sciatic nerve, which was causing his intense pain and other symptoms.

We quickly suggested Endoscopic Spine Surgery, a modern, invasive procedure. This type of surgery is safe and involves small incisions, allowing patients to heal faster and with less pain. During surgery, we gently removed the injured disc, relieving pressure on the sciatic nerve.

The results were amazing. Soon after the surgery, Atar could stand and walk comfortably again—something he hadn’t done in months. His pain was gone, and he could easily do his daily activities.

Sciatica, though common, can often be managed effectively with proper and timely treatment. Atar Singh’s story highlights the importance of seeking expert care. With advancements like endoscopic spine surgery, patients can achieve quick recovery and resume a normal, pain-free life.
