Sciatica treatment methods

We can relieve the symptoms of sciatica through several treatment methods such as medication, surgical treatment, and traction therapy. What everyone must remember is that if you need to take medication, you need to take it strictly according to the doctor's instructions.

In acute pain, patients can take nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to reduce inflammation of the sciatic nerve. Patients can also relieve pain through acupuncture treatment. However, the above methods cannot restore the intervertebral disc, so patients need to undergo manual therapy and traction therapy while taking medication or receiving acupuncture treatment. The purpose of both methods is to restore the intervertebral disc.

Since lumbar disc herniation is caused by repeated flexion of the waist, patients should reduce both the frequency and amplitude of flexion. When sitting, you should maintain the curvature of your lumbar spine and avoid leaning forward. You can tilt your pelvis forward or place a lumbar cushion behind your waist to maintain the curvature of your waist.
