Treatment of the underlying root cause of nerve compression is the only solution to sciatica pain. Adequate rest, application of hot and cold packs to the affected area and gentle stretching help resolve pain in many cases.
Conventional Treatments for Sciatica
Anti-inflammatory drugs like NSAIDs (aspirin, brufen, and acetaminophen) and oral steroids may help relieve swelling and pain. These may be taken in combination with a muscle relaxant. However, NSAIDs are highly unfit for prolonged usage due to their many side-effects.
Once the pain has reduced, physiotherapy exercises should be adopted. These help in strengthening the back muscles and correcting the posture. Exercise should be made a part of daily routine to prevent any further episodes of pain and discomfort.
Epidural steroid injections are also used for reducing inflammation. These are very effective as they deliver local anti-inflammatory agents directly. However, they can cause some serious side effects.
Side effects of Epidural Steroid injections in Sciatica
Surgery is considered in cases where the pain is severe or complications like loss of mobility or loss of organ functions have risen.
Surgery essentially aims at removing the herniated portion of the disc which compresses the nerve. This provides immediate relief from sciatica pain, but only until the disc degeneration starts progressing further.
Complementary Natural Care
Natural therapies work by addressing the root causes of the pain. Among the traditional approaches are bio-energetic imprints of healthy nerve tissues (OM 31), Ayurvedic herb formulations (Trayodashanga Guggul) and resonance homeopathy products (T14 Libido Liquescence). They are traditionally believed to work by:
- Supporting the normal structure and functions of the nerve endings
- Supporting the normal structure and functions of the lower back and spine
- Soothing inflammation in the lower back, sciatic nerves and hip joints
- Guiding the body to adapt to optimal functioning
Every single ingredient in every Biogetica kit has huge amounts of traditional use data from Ayurveda and Homeopathy and is supported by modern studies and trials. However, people and governments today tend to have varying opinions and laws regarding natural supplements and complementary therapies. We, therefore, prefer not to make any claims, but instead, point all patients and doctors to independent research and clinical studies that support their effects in a scientific manner. In some cases, we compare the results of these studies to those of pharmaceutical medicines, in order to show that natural products can provide just as much or may be more, when compared to drugs that often have side effects.
In order to present this information in an unbiased and up to date manner, we simply show you Google Scholar search results of all scientific articles available on a certain product. We support you in your right to know and choose natural medicine!

Tips to Manage Sciatica
Sciatica can be prevented with the following:
- Regular exercise: This helps strengthen the back muscles and prevents disk protrusion.
- Correct posture: An upright posture with adequate support to the natural curve of the spine, while sitting, helps prevent sciatica. If your job involves sitting for a long time, take frequent walks to provide necessary movement to back muscles.
- While bending down, always do so using your knees and not your back. This helps avoid over-straining the back. Sudden jerky movements of the back should be avoided.
- Alternative therapies like acupuncture, chiropractic manipulation and massage therapy also help relieve pain.
