Options 4 Treatment: The mainstay of treatment for sciatica is anti-inflammatories and physical therapy exercises. These methods provide relief for the vast majority of patients. If this does not work, steroid shots may help with inflammation in the short term, but do not solve the real problem, a pinched nerve. If your pain/functionality is severe enough, surgery may be indicated but not always curative longterm.
