Advanced Peripheral Nerve Care by Dr. Laxmikant Bhople and Dr. Sandeep Gore
Sciatic Nerve Injury
The sciatic nerve is the largest and longest nerve in the human body, extending from the lower spine through the hips, buttocks, and down each leg. When this nerve is injured or compressed, it can cause severe pain, weakness, numbness, or difficulty in walking.
In many cases, sciatic nerve injury results from trauma, spinal disorders, nerve compression, or surgical complications. Therefore, early diagnosis and expert neurosurgical care are essential to prevent long-term disability and restore nerve function.
With this goal in focus, Dr. Laxmikant Bhople and Dr. Sandeep Gore provides specialized sciatic nerve injury treatment in Nanded using advanced diagnostic evaluation and modern treatment techniques.
Causes of Sciatic Nerve Injury
Sciatic nerve damage can occur due to multiple underlying conditions. Most commonly, the causes include:
- Severe slip disc (lumbar disc herniation)
- Spinal stenosis or degenerative spine disease
- Pelvic or hip fractures
- Road traffic accidents or fall-related trauma
- Tumors compressing the sciatic nerve
- Injection-related or surgical nerve injury
Because each cause affects the nerve differently, identifying the exact reason is critical for effective treatment.
Symptoms of Sciatic Nerve Injury
Symptoms may vary depending on the severity and location of nerve involvement. However, common warning signs include:
- Sharp or burning pain radiating from lower back to leg
- Numbness or tingling in buttock, thigh, or foot
- Weakness in leg or foot movements
- Difficulty standing, walking, or sitting for long periods
- Loss of reflexes in severe cases
If these symptoms persist or worsen, immediate neurosurgical consultation is strongly recommended.
Advanced Sciatic Nerve Injury Treatment Options
Modern peripheral nerve care focuses on relieving compression, repairing nerve damage, and restoring function. Accordingly, Dr. Laxmikant Bhople and Dr. Sandeep Gore offers comprehensive treatment options based on the patient’s condition.
Conservative & Medical Management
In mild cases, non-surgical treatment is initiated first. As a result, pain and inflammation can often be controlled effectively.
- Medications for nerve pain and inflammation
- Physiotherapy and posture correction
- Activity modification and pain management protocols
Surgical Decompression of Sciatic Nerve
When nerve compression is severe or progressive, surgery may be required. Therefore, microsurgical decompression is performed to relieve pressure on the nerve and prevent further damage.
Microsurgical Nerve Repair
In traumatic or iatrogenic injuries, nerve repair or reconstruction may be necessary. Using advanced microsurgical techniques, nerve continuity and function are restored whenever possible.
Treatment of Underlying Spinal Cause
If the sciatic nerve injury originates from spine disorders such as slip disc or stenosis, targeted spine surgery is planned to address the root cause and provide lasting relief.
Expertise of Dr. Laxmikant Bhople & Dr. Sandeep Gore
With over 9 years of experience in neurosurgery and peripheral nerve care, Dr. Laxmikant Bhople and Dr. Sandeep Gore , with over 14 years of experience in spine surgery extensive expertise in treating complex sciatic nerve injuries. In addition to surgical precision, he emphasizes accurate diagnosis and individualized treatment planning.
Moreover, his approach focuses on nerve preservation, pain relief, and functional recovery, enabling patients to regain mobility and quality of life.
Benefits of Timely Sciatic Nerve Injury Treatment
- Effective relief from radiating leg pain
- Prevention of permanent nerve damage
- Improved leg strength and mobility
- Reduced dependency on long-term pain medication
- Faster and structured recovery
Because nerve healing depends on early intervention, timely expert care plays a vital role in outcomes.
Recovery & Rehabilitation
Recovery from sciatic nerve injury depends on the severity of damage. Initially, pain control and neurological stabilization are prioritized. Subsequently, physiotherapy and rehabilitation are introduced to restore strength and coordination.
At the same time, regular follow-up ensures nerve recovery is progressing appropriately. Through this structured approach, long-term function is optimized.
