Treatments for sciatica in pain management focus on reducing nerve irritation, controlling inflammation, and improving mobility. Nonsurgical approaches often include physical therapy, targeted exercises, and posture training to relieve pressure on affected nerves. Pain management may also involve medications such as anti-inflammatories, muscle relaxants, or nerve-targeted therapies to ease discomfort and improve daily function. These strategies work together to help patients maintain activity levels and prevent flare-ups while addressing underlying nerve stress.
For more persistent or severe cases, interventional procedures may be used to manage pain. These can include injections that deliver antiinflammatory medication directly near the affected nerve or minimally invasive procedures designed to reduce nerve compression. Pain specialists tailor these treatments based on the patient’s specific symptoms, severity, and overall health, ensuring a personalized approach. Combining these methods with lifestyle adjustments and monitoring allows patients to regain function, reduce discomfort, and improve quality of life over time.
