Sciatica can be reduced by drugs, surgery and other methods, but also pay attention to care.
1. Drugs: Most sciatica is caused by lumbar disc herniation, which will compress the nerve root and cause pain and edema. You can use dehydrating drugs to improve the edema, such as mannitol, furosemide, etc. You can also use nutritive drugs to alleviate the swelling, such as vitamin B12 and methylcobalamin.
2. Surgery: If the effect of drug treatment is not good, or there is a tendency of progressive aggravation, after clarifying the cause of sciatica, surgery can also be performed. Surgical treatment mainly includes minimally invasive medullary nucleus removal and segmental decompression and fusion surgery, which can relieve the pressure and also play a very good role in reducing the swelling.
3. Nursing: sciatica should also maintain a healthy lifestyle, usually appropriate exercise to strengthen the back and abdominal muscle strength, to maintain the correct posture of sitting and standing.
Sciatica should be treated strictly in accordance with medical advice, if you need to use medication, you need to follow the doctor’s instructions to avoid adverse reactions.
