Sciatica pain often comes from irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, and surgery is not the first or best option for most patients. Effective non-surgical treatments may include:
- Targeted physical therapy to improve flexibility, posture, and core strength
- Interventional spine injections (such as epidural steroid injections) to reduce inflammation around the nerve
- Medication management focused on minimizing long-term drug dependence
- Myofascial release and therapeutic massage to reduce muscle tension
- Regenerative medicine treatments that support tissue healing rather than masking pain
At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, we start with a thorough diagnostic evaluation to identify why the nerve is irritated—then tailor a treatment plan that prioritizes relief, function, and long-term recovery.
