Diagnosis for sciatica from a herniated disc

Condition analysis:
The best option is an MRI scan. A CT scan can provide an image of the vertebral disc if it is sizable, but does not give quite as detailed an image as an MRI. Likewise, an EMG study (electromyography) of the leg can indicate if a muscle group is affected, but the test is non-specific and typically does not detect Herniated Discs.

The best test to evaluate nerve compression is an MRI scan. For patients who have claustrophobia, newer MRI scanning equipment is no longer designed like a tunnel and is less likely to cause claustrophobia.

Instructions:
Use More Turmeric: Turmeric should be used in a greater quantity, around 400 to 600 milligrams to increase circulation.

This circulation eases the lower-back pain and eliminates the problems related to Herniated Discs. Turmeric powder can also be used in making tea to treat stomach ailments, prevent aches, and pains related to herniated disc.
