Yes, Sciatica can be cured. The key is to find the source of the nerve compression or irritation, and if conservative treatments fail, surgical intervention can be a definitive cure.
Sciatica is often from compression of nerve in the spine and this can be treated with physical therapy and other conservative modalities. In severe and prolonged cases, surgery can be done.
Yes if the nerve is decompressed it will relieve the pain most times
Sciatica not self resolving with medications can be addressed with endoscopic spine surgery. Call our office to inquire more about treatment options for sciatica.
