Time is biggest: Healer! 90% with sciatica due to disc herniation get better without surgery independent of any treatment . Treatment can include: medication, injections, activity modification, physical therapy, acupuncture/chiropractic. For those having indicated surgery, the success is 90-95% if one is not a smoker or morbidly obese. Regular exercise, not smoking & sleep habits key as is good body mechanics.
