Sciatic Nerve Treatments

sciatica

Sciatic nerve treatments vary widely depending on a patient's diagnosis and other variables. In the early stages of sciatica?- the term used to describe the pain caused by compression of the sciatic nerve?- treatments are generally non-invasive.

Doctors often prescribe physical therapy or spinal decompression to take pressure off the sciatic nerve?- pressure that may be caused by a herniated disc, foraminal stenosis, or another condition. Doctors will also occasionally prescribe stretching and other exercises to strengthen the muscles around the affected area in the hope that it can relieve the pain and prevent future problems. While these sciatic nerve treatments are underway, over-the-counter pain relievers and anti-inflammatory medicines are also often used to manage symptoms.?

If sciatic pain continues after these treatments have failed, the following may be prescribed:

Acupuncture
Massage
Steroidal spine injections
Surgery
