Treatment for Sciatica

There are many options when it comes to treating sciatica. These treatment options include:

•    Physical therapy: If sciatica is caused by a herniated disc, this option may be particularly useful, especially if it includes a rehabilitation program.
•    Prescription drugs: These are likely to include anti inflammatory medication, muscle relaxants as well as pain relief medication.
•    Epidural steroid injections: These suppress inflammation around the irritated nerve, thereby helping to relieve pain
•    Surgery: Surgical options include diskectomy and microdiskectomy
