conservative care : Initial treatment for sciatica includes physical therapy and over-the-counter anti-inflammatories. If your pain persists, your physician may order an MRI and you may be a candidate for epidural steroid injections.

Cure, Unlikely...: Sciatica can be managed effectively and can be relieved in a vast majority of people, but it will always require diligence on your part for nsaids, exercise, stretching and weight control/loss. For those still having issues it may require treatments (injections, surgery, etc) to maintain relief as well.
