Sciatica is a common nerve-related condition that causes pain radiating from the lower back through the buttock, thigh, and sometimes down to the leg and foot. In Dhaka, the number of sciatica cases has increased due to prolonged sitting, poor posture, and heavy lifting. While many patients rely on painkillers for temporary relief, modern medical research shows that specialized non-surgical physiotherapy is essential for long-term recovery.
Dr. Mohammad Shahadat Hossain, PT and Dr. Sapia Akter, PT are widely recognized for their expertise in non-surgical sciatica treatment at ASPC Manipulation Therapy Centre in Dhaka. Their combined approach emphasizes accurate diagnosis, targeted manual therapy, and long-term rehabilitation.
Understanding Sciatica: A Doctor’s Perspective
Sciatica is not a disease; it is a collection of symptoms caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve. It is clinically complex because pain intensity does not always match imaging findings, and symptoms can vary widely from patient to patient. This complexity is why choosing the right doctor is essential for recovery.
Common Causes Seen in Dhaka
Commonly known as a “slipped disc,” this is a leading cause of nerve pressure in urban professionals.
Office workers and drivers in Dhaka are at high risk due to hours spent in poor postural alignment.
Age-related changes in the spine that narrow the space for nerve roots.
Lack of spinal support increases the mechanical load on the lumbar discs.

10-Step Clinical Treatment Protocol
Institutional vs. Specialized Spine Care
While Dhaka features excellent institutions like CRP, BHPI, and NITOR (Pongu Hospital), ASPC offers a specialized environment for complex nerve cases.
- Large Institutions: Treat a broad range of trauma and disabilities; individualized spine focus may be limited by volume.
- General Clinics: Often rely on passive machines (ultrasound, heat) and standardized exercise templates.
- ASPC Approach: Intensive biomechanical analysis and root-cause diagnosis.
- Manual Focus: Emphasis on hands-on manipulation over machine-based therapy.
Patient Satisfaction & Outcomes
With expert non-surgical treatment, most patients achieve significant pain reduction, improved walking tolerance, and restoration of work capacity. Early intervention by experienced professionals who understand both diagnosis and rehabilitation is essential for long-term health.
