Patient's question:
Hello, how should I deal with sciatica?Doctor's answer:
If sciatica reappears, it is necessary to carefully examine the cause. Generally, it is considered to be sciatica or a lumbar disc herniation that compresses the sciatic nerve. If it is caused by a lumbar disc herniation, it can be treated through traction, acupuncture, massage, or physical therapy. For particularly severe cases, minimally invasive surgery such as interlaminar foraminoscopy may be performed. If it is caused by sciatica, nerve-nourishing medications can be taken.
