How is sciatica treated?

Most cases of sciatica can be effectively treated by one or a combination of the following:

Medication therapies

  • Anti-inflammatory medications (i.e. NSAIDs or oral steroids)
  • Pain medications (e.g. acetaminophen)
  • Epidural steroid injections to deliver local anti-inflammatory agents (and possibly a pain medication) directly to the affected area

Invasive therapies

  • Surgery
  • Minimally invasive procedure

Alternative therapies

The approach to treating Sciatica is to reduce the compressive forces causing the pressure upon the sciatic nerve. This can be accomplished through traction and realignment therapeutic procedures in the case where the sciatica is spinal-related.

  • Acupuncture
  • Chiropractic manipulation for the restoration of normal joint biomechanics and reduction of histochemical irritation to the involved nerves.
  • Massage therapy to the involved lumbopelvic muscles.
  • Structural Integration A systematic approach designed to reorganize major joints, and body segments (such as the lower back region and sacrum), while releasing the chronically held tension and torsion patterns. The goal is to achieve a rapid change in structural mechanics and correction of chronic musculoskeletal pain or dysfunction. Core Method of Structural Integration - Stand Corrected Core Structural Integration
