Understanding Sciatica & L5-S1 Disc Herniation
Sciatica is nerve-root pain radiating from the buttock down the back of the leg to the foot, caused most commonly by an L5-S1 disc herniation compressing the S1 nerve root. It affects 5–10% of Indian adults each year (Deyo & Mirza 2016) and is the single most common cause of missed work in Bengaluru IT professionals aged 28–45.
Two clinical patterns dominate: (1) acute discogenic pain — a 20-something IT worker who bent to pick up a laptop bag and felt an electric jolt down the leg, and (2) chronic postural sciatica — the 40-year-old who has sat 10 hours daily for a decade. Both respond to a directional-preference McKenzie protocol delivered at home.
Day-1 Sciatica Home Assessment
A 60-minute home visit covers slump test, straight-leg-raise (SLR) with sensitisation, myotome + dermatome + reflex screen for S1 (calf plantarflexion, lateral foot sensation, ankle jerk), repeated-movement testing to find your directional preference (extension in most L5-S1 cases), and a desk-setup photo audit for the follow-up plan.
Red flags — saddle anaesthesia, bladder/bowel change, progressive foot drop — trigger immediate orthopaedic referral. We coordinate with senior spine surgeons at Apollo, Manipal and Sakra when imaging is warranted.
