Without surgury, which I would use as a last resort, look into Decompression therapy. It can be found at a local chiropractor's office that has been trained in the procedure. It is a traction therapy which takes about an hour per session and gently pulls the spine apart to allow the discs and the pinched nerves time to separate enough to relieve pain. It can fix some problems but may not fix all spinal problems/injuries.

The nerve originates in the lower spine as nerve roots exit the spinal cord (through the bones in the spine), and extends all the way down the back of the leg to the toes. The sciatic nerve is actually a combination of nerves.

Each nerve exits the spine between two vertebral segments and is named for the segment above it.
