Patient's question:
I got sciatica last week, and it's still like this now. How long does sciatica take to heal?Doctor's answer:
is mostly caused by a herniated disc. Most cases can be worsened by heavy physical labor or exposure to cold. For your condition, a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment is quite effective. It is absolutely essential to avoid heavy physical labor and exposure to cold, as this is key! Acupuncture and physiotherapy treatments are quite effective and can be used together. Under the guidance of a doctor, you may take some oral medication, but be sure to follow the doctor's advice strictly!
