What is the best way to treat sciatica?
Most cases of sciatica are mild to moderate and will resolve on their own within about 3 months. For people whose sciatica is severe, or is not going away after 3 months, very… few treatments have been found to be effective. So far, the most effective treatments seem to be spinal manipulation (eg: chiropractic) and surgery. See the evidence below: Systematic reviews of sciatica treatments say: - Physical therapy (exercise) is not effective for the treatment of sciatica (ref 1). - Medications (eg: NSAIDs, analgesics, or muscle relaxants) are not effective for treating sciatica (ref 2 & 3). - Spinal manipulation might be effective for the treatment of sciatica (ref 4). - Elective surgery such as microdiscectomy might be effective for patients with sciatica (ref 5).
