What Are the Treatments for Sciatic Nerve Damage to the Back?
Many people suffer back pain due to damage to the sciatic nerve, which is the biggest nerve in the body. For many of them, the damage eventually heals on its own but the pain must be treated and managed during the healing process. Depending on the severity of the pain, a variety of treatment options exists, ranging from in-home with over-the-counter drugs, to outpatient with prescription drugs–or sometimes surgery as a last resort.
