How do you treat sciattica?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See your physician: Sciatica symptoms include pain in the buttocks/leg that worsens when sitting, burning/tingling down the leg, etc. Conservative measures including PT, pain medications, etc are tried first. Surgery can be considered if conservative therapies fail to relieve symptoms. See your physician in order to determine a diagnosis. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/sciatica.html
