# # سیاٹیکا: درد، وجوہات اور گھریلو علاج - سمجھیں اور آرام پائیں
**(سیاٹیکا سرگودھا | بہترین فزیوتھراپسٹ | سیاٹیکا علاج)**

**مریضوں کے لیے رہنمائی**

سیاٹیکا کا نام سنتے ہی اکثر لوگوں کے ذہن میں پیروں میں شدید درد کا خیال آتا ہے۔ یہ تکلیف دہ حالت بہت عام ہے، لیکن صحیح معلومات اور بروقت علاج سے اس پر قابو پایا جا سکتا ہے۔ آئیے سیاٹیکا کو آسان الفاظ میں سمجھیں۔

**سیاٹیکا کیا ہے؟ (Sciatica Kiya Hai?)**

* سیاٹیکا دراصل ایک **علامت (Symptom)** ہے، نہ کہ کوئی علیحدہ بیماری۔
* یہ اس وقت ہوتا ہے جب **سیاٹک نرو (Sciatic Nerve)** — جو ہمارے جسم کی سب سے لمبی اور موٹی نرو ہے — دب جاتی یا چھلنی ہو جاتی ہے۔
* یہ نرو ریڑھ کی ہڈی (Spine) کی نچلی حصے (کمر) سے نکل کر کولہوں (Hips) اور ٹانگوں کے پچھلے حصے سے ہوتی ہوئی پاؤں تک جاتی ہے۔
* **وجہ:** عام طور پر کمر کے نچلے حصے (Lumbar Spine) میں کوئی مسئلہ سیاٹک نرو پر دباؤ ڈالتا ہے، جیسے:
* **ہرنی ایٹڈ ڈسک (Herniated Disc):** ریڑھ کی ہڈی کے مہروں (Discs) کے اندر کا نرم مادہ باہر نکل آنا اور نرو کو دبانا۔
* **بون اسپرز (Bone Spurs):** ریڑھ کی ہڈی پر ہڈی کے اضافی ابھار بن جانا۔
* **سپائنل سٹینوسس (Spinal Stenosis):** ریڑھ کی ہڈی کی نالی کا تنگ ہو جانا جہاں سے نرو گزرتی ہیں۔
* پٹھوں میں اکڑن (Muscle Spasms)، خاص طور پر پیڑو (Piriformis) پٹھے کا۔
* چوٹ یا انفیکشن (ش*ذ و نادر)۔

**سیاٹیکا کی عام علامات (Alamaat):**

* **درد (Dard):** یہ درد کمر یا کولہے سے شروع ہو کر ٹانگ کے پچھلے حصے سے ہوتا ہوا گھٹنے، پنڈلی اور بعض اوقات پاؤں تک پھیل جاتا ہے۔
* **احساسات (Ehsasat):**
* جلن (Burning) یا بجلی کا جھٹکا محسوس ہونا (Shooting Pain)
* سن ہونا یا بے حسی (Sunn Hona ya Be Hisi)
* جھنجھناہٹ یا سوئیاں چبھنے کا احساس (Tingling or Pins & Needles)
* کمزوری (Kamzori) - ٹانگ یا پاؤں میں طاقت کم ہونا
* **درد کی نوعیت:**
* بیٹھنے، کھانسنے یا چھینکنے سے بدتر ہو سکتا ہے۔
* اکثر صرف ایک طرف کی ٹانگ متاثر ہوتی ہے۔
* درد مستقل یا آتا جاتا رہ سکتا ہے، شدت مختلف ہو سکتی ہے۔

**گھر پر سیاٹیکا کے درد کا انتظام (Ghar Par Ilaj - Home Strategies):**

1. **سرگرمی میں توازن (Balance Activity):**
* **زیادہ دیر بیٹھنے یا لیٹنے سے گریز کریں:** لمبے آرام سے زیادہ دیر کے لیے گریز کریں۔ ہلکی پھلکی سرگرمی (جیسے چہل قدمی) خون کی گردش اور شفا یابی کو بہتر کرتی ہے۔
* **ضرورت سے زیادہ مت کریں:** ایسی سرگرمیاں جو درد بڑھائیں (بھاری اٹھانا، جھکنا، مڑنا) ان سے پرہیز کریں۔ درد کو نظر انداز نہ کریں۔

2. **ٹھنڈک اور گرم سکی (Cold & Heat Therapy):**
* **پہلے 48 گھنٹے (شدید درد):** ٹھنڈا سکی (برف کا تولیہ میں لپیٹ کر) 15-20 منٹ کے لیے دن میں کئی بار متاثرہ جگہ پر رکھیں۔ سوجن کم کرتا ہے۔
* **بعد میں:** گرم سکی (ہیٹنگ پیڈ یا گرم پانی کی بوتل) 15-20 منٹ کے لیے استعمال کریں۔ پٹھوں کو آرام دیتا ہے اور خون کی گردش بڑھاتا ہے۔ کچھ لوگوں کو گرم اور ٹھنڈے کا متبادل استعمال بھی فائدہ دیتا ہے۔

3. **اچھی پوسچر (Good Posture):**
* **بیٹھتے وقت:** کمر سیدھی رکھیں، ٹانگوں پر ٹانگ نہ چڑھائیں۔ کمر کے پیچھے چھوٹا تکیہ (لَمبر سپورٹ) رکھیں۔ اونچی اور سخت کرسی استعمال کریں۔ ہر 20-30 منٹ بعد کھڑے ہو کر تھوڑا سا چلیں پھریں۔
* **کھڑے ہوتے وقت:** کندھے پیچھے، سر سیدھا، پیٹ کے پٹھوں کو ہلکا سا کھینچ کر رکھیں۔ ایک ٹانگ کو چھوٹے اسٹول پر رکھ کر وزن تقسیم کریں۔
* **سوتے وقت:** اپنے پہلو پر مڑ کر سوئیں، گھٹنوں کے درمیان تکیہ رکھیں۔ یا پیٹھ کے بل سوئیں تو گھٹنوں کے نیچے تکیہ رکھیں۔ پیٹ کے بل سونا عام طور پر نقصان دہ ہوتا ہے۔

4. **ہلکی پھلکی ورزشیں (Sciatica Exercises):** *(صرف اس وقت کریں جب شدید درد نہ ہو، اور اگر ممکن ہو تو پہلے فزیوتھراپسٹ سے مشورہ کریں)*
* **ہلکی چہل قدمی:** شروع میں 5-10 منٹ سے شروع کریں، بتدریج وقت بڑھائیں۔
* **زانو سینے کی طرف (Knee to Chest):** پیٹھ کے بل لیٹ کر ایک گھٹنے کو آہستہ سے سینے کی طرف لائیں، 15-30 سیکنڈ رکھیں، پھر دوسری ٹانگ۔
* **پیلیوک ٹلٹ (Pelvic Tilt):** پیٹھ کے بل لیٹ کر گھٹنے موڑیں۔ ناف کو ریڑھ کی ہڈی کی طرف کھینچیں (پیلیوکس کو ہلکا سا اوپر اٹھائیں)، 5-10 سیکنڈ رکھیں، پھر آرام کریں۔
* **پِری فارمس اسٹریچ (Piriformis Stretch):** پیٹھ کے بل لیٹیں، متاثرہ ٹانگ کے گھٹنے کو موڑیں۔ ٹخنے کو دوسری ٹانگ کے گھٹنے پر رکھیں۔ دوسری ٹانگ کو آہستہ سے سینے کی طرف کھینچیں، کولہوں اور کمر میں کھنچاؤ محسوس کریں۔ 15-30 سیکنڈ رکھیں۔
* **اہم:** ورزش کے دوران درد نہیں ہونا چاہیے۔ اگر درد ہو تو فوراً رک جائیں۔

5. **درد کش ادویات (Pain Relievers):** ڈاکٹر کے مشورے سے اوور دی کاؤنٹر درد کش ادویات جیسے آئبوپروفین (Ibuprofen) یا نیپروکسن (Naproxen) سوجن اور درد کم کرنے میں مددگار ہو سکتی ہیں۔ ہمیشہ ڈاکٹر کی ہدایت کے مطابق استعمال کریں۔

**سیاٹیکا سے کیسے بچیں؟ (Prevention Tips):**

* **اچھی پوسچر پر سختی کریں:** بیٹھتے، کھڑے ہوتے، اٹھاتے اور سوتے وقت۔
* **صحیح طریقے سے اٹھائیں:** گھٹنے موڑ کر، کمر سیدھی رکھ کر، چیز جسم کے قریب رکھ کر۔ کمر سے جھک کر کبھی نہ اٹھائیں۔ بھاری چیزیں اٹھانے سے گریز کریں۔
* **روزانہ ورزش:** ریڑھ کی ہڈی کو مضبوط بنانے اور لچکدار رکھنے والی ورزشیں (جیسے تیراکی، یوگا، چہل قدمی) باقاعدگی سے کریں۔ پیٹ اور کمر کے پٹھوں کو مضبوط بنائیں۔
* **وزن کنٹرول:** زیادہ وزن کمر پر اضافی دباؤ ڈالتا ہے۔ صحت مند وزن برقرار رکھیں۔
* **تمباکو نوشی ترک کریں:** تمباکو ریڑھ کی ہڈی کے مہروں کو نقصان پہنچاتا ہے۔
* **ایکٹو رہیں:** طویل عرصے تک بیٹھے رہنے سے گریز کریں۔ وقفے وقفے سے اٹھیں، چلیں پھریں اور کھچاؤ دیں۔

**کب ڈاکٹر سے رجوع کریں؟**

* درد شدید ہو اور گھریلو علاج سے بہتر نہ ہو رہا ہو۔
* درد چند ہفتوں سے زیادہ جاری رہے۔
* درد اچانک اور شدید ہو جائے۔
* ٹانگ یا پاؤں میں نمایاں کمزوری یا سن ہونا محسوس ہو۔
* آنتوں یا مثانے پر کنٹرول ختم ہو جائے (یہ بہت سنگین علامت ہے، فوری ایمرجنسی میں جائیں)۔
* چوٹ کے بعد درد ہو (جیسے گرنے کے بعد)۔
