Dear Patient,

Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve is pressed by the bulging spine, the final treatment is surgery but its not preferred due to many reasons. lifestyle changes are encouraged- physiotherapy, ketoprofen gel and hot oil application, tablets like brexin taken twice a day for 10 days when pain is severe, hot fomentation, using TENS(a physiotherapy device, your physiotherapist can guide you abt it), sitting with back support and molty back foam on chairs, perhaps even using a lumbosacral medical belt can help.
