Which types of treatments to manage irritation of the sciatic nerve?

Antiinflammatory Med: Severe nerve irritation may be treated with an antiinflammatory medication such as a steroid medication. These medications may have significant side effects, so a careful assessment is required. Also, physical therapy is an excellent treatment option as well.
