Sciatica is just another way of saying back pain. Sciatica treatment exists, but I've found that most of the solutions aren't really that good. They're more of a system to keep a sufferer paying money for a temporary fix. The problem never gets solved, so the patient is just milked for cash.

The reason people suffer comes down to one main reason; nerve irritation. One method that happens over time is that spinal discs end up holding less fluid and this causes parts of the spine to rub together on nerve roots which cause irritation. Another reason is that a nerve, just happens to go through a muscle and when it gets tense, the nerve is irritated.

The most common sciatica treatment methods are...

Acupuncture: This is an Eastern medicine solution that in my opinion is just a placebo effect. If you plan to take this root, you're going to have to pay for this type of treatment on a regular basis because it isn't permanent.

Chiropractor: A lot of people sweat by these guys and they do good work, but it isn't anything that lasts. You'll be fixed for a while, than one day, it's worse than before. Expect to pay a lot of money.

Medication: I don't really consider this a solution because you're just essentially numbing the pain.

These aren't very good sciatica treatments because you'll have to fork out money for the rest of your life. I just don't like that because you're essentially making someone rich, that isn't even fixing your problem. The fact is that you can do some easy exercises to get rid of the pain on your own.
