Although sciatica can often get better without any treatment, the healing process can be enhanced by following a few simple guidelines. Most episodes of sciatica are once-in-a-lifetime; however, some people have a tendency to have a flare-up occasionally. It may be necessary to adopt a lifestyle of preventive measures if you’re prone to sciatica.

Many patients find great relief from visiting an osteopathic physician, physical therapist, or chiropractor. These professionals are specifically trained in the management of sciatica and conditions of the lower back.

There are surgical sciatica treatments available for extreme cases of unresolved sciatica, however, most episodes can be resolved with the use of conservative measures and anti-inflammatory medications.
