Background: Sciatica, often resulting from lumbar radiculopathy, is a debilitating condition characterized by radiating pain along the sciatic nerve. Conventional treatments include analgesics, physiotherapy, and surgery, yet long-term remission remains challenging. This case study explores the role of Yoga Prana Vidya (YPV), a non-touch, no-drug energy healing modality, in achieving sustained remission.

Case Presentation: A 44-year-old male presented with severe left-sided sciatica due to lumbar radiculopathy, confirmed by clinical and radiological findings during December 2015. He experienced persistent pain, restricted mobility, and sleep disturbances. Medical consultations suggested a surgical operation. Being a competent YPV healer, the patient opted for YPV healing as an alternative therapy instead of conventional treatments.

Intervention and Outcome: The patient received regular YPV healing sessions over 2-1/2 month’s period, initially from his Mentor, followed by self-healing. He regularly practiced YPV modules of exercises, Yogic breathing and meditations. As a result, there was complete improvement in his condition and was fully normal. He continued self-healing for another 5 months for maintenance and to avoid relapse. A 9-year follow-up during November 2025 revealed sustained remission, with no recurrence of symptoms and with improved quality of life.
