Hello,
Regular Physiotherapy/Phys (learnt under expert guidance of physiotherapist) and pain medicine (prescribed by treating doctor) is possible to control and gradually cure the sciatica.
Vitamin B 12, calcium and vitamin D supplement for neuro muscular wellness would help. Avoid exertion to leg/bending or weight lifting.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
