Suggest Treatment For Sciatica
Question: Hello Doctor! is there Medicinal cure for Sciatica.. ie lower back pain?
Brief Answer:
It can be cured by rest,analgescics and back exercises
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Most cases of sciatica resolve with just conservative treatments in a few weeks.
MRI is needed to establish the cause of sciatica, so that appropriate treatment can be prescribed. Sciatica do respond well to bed rest and analgesics (pain killer) and is right mode of treatment.
The definitive treatment depends upon the cause of sciatica. I would suggest you to consult an orthopediac surgeon who may order MRI to determine cause of sciatica (level and degree in case of disc herniation) and may suggest other mode of treatment. After initial few days of bed rest, you needs physiotherapy.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
