Conservative treatment for sciatica is primarily aimed at pain reduction, either by analgesics or by reducing pressure on the nerve root. When a patient reports the typical radiating pain in one leg combined with a positive result on one or more neurological tests indicating nerve root tension or neurological deficit, the diagnosis of sciatica seems likely. The role of analgesics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and muscle relaxants in pain relief remain limited and surgical intervention is often linked to better outcomes. Let us hear from renowned neurosurgeon Dr. Bhati on the presenting symptoms of sciatica and the latest guidelines on management.
