Yes, it totally can. I have some back problems, PARS fracture, tucked pelvis and some scoilosis. I've found that just a small amount of valium, 2.5 to be exact, works wonders. Of course, I combine that with a daily swimming routine, daily stretching routine and a light bike ride 3 days a week.

In my opinion, that small bit of valium helps relax the nerves, which is what usually is getting pinched when you have sciatica pain.
Hope this helps. By the way, I was never prescribed valium, i just figured it out on my own.
