Sciatica treatment involves alleviating the symptoms of sciatica, a condition characterized by pain in the lower back, hips, and legs caused by compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve. Common treatments include physical therapy, medication for inflammation and pain relief, steroid injections near the affected area, and, as a last resort, surgery to release pressure on the nerve.

Sciatica treatment in Canada involves a combination of physical therapy, pain management, and surgery if necessary. Physical therapy includes exercises to improve flexibility and strength. Pain management may include medication or nerve blocks. Surgery is typically a last resort for severe cases.
