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 Spain often includes physiotherapy, pain management, and surgery. Physio focuses on stretching and strengthening affected muscles. Pain management may involve medication or nerve blocks. Surgery is a last resort for severe cases.
Spain's healthcare system is universal and affordable, but wait times for specialist appointments can be long (1-3 months).
