Physical therapy: I am not sure what you are asking. If the answer below is not what your looking for please restate. The most important long term therapy for the most common causes of sciatic nerve irritation is physical therapy. NSAID's will help relieve the symptoms. You can also try moist heat, cold, Tylenol (acetaminophen) and the over the counter sports creams. You should follow up with your doc if it doesn't resolve
