I had sciatica. Painful. I couldn't believe the pain. What worked for me in the end was a chiropractor. A friend had recommended I try it. Went out of desperation and didn't for a second believe it would work. Gratefully, the relief started with my first visit.
From what the chiropractor told me, they can't help all forms of sciatica. But the ones they can help, they are wonderful at relieving when nothing else works.
For me, it turned out I had spasm in my lower back - that I was unaware of - I had no pain there - and it had caused spasms elsewhere that eventually lead to the compression of the sciatica nerve.
Felt like he was doing nothing to me during the visit. I left, feeling just a tad better. The next day, I felt like I had been hit by a car. lol But the scaitica pain begin to ease so I really didn't care. It took several visits to get the spasm out of my back but I haven't sciatica since.
I hope you find the answer for yours. Hang in there.
