What can u do for sciatic injury?

Several intervention: If due to lumbar disc herniation, usually best to handle conservatively with physical therapy, exercise, and medications. Sometimes, an epidural steroid injection changes the situation profoundly, and surgery should be reserved for progressive neurological or bladder problems. A pyriformis type syndrome affects the peripheral sciatic nerve and is best handled by osteopathic approaches.
