The Mayo Clinic explains sciatica as pain that travels along the sciatic nerve that runs from the top of the back to the bottom of the leg. Sciatica usually ends quickly, but in some patients remains. The British Medical Journal study, patients had the option to start physical therapy or surgery. Patients who had surgery showed improvement for a short period of time after surgery. But for six months and up to two years after surgery, there was no difference between groups with surgery and those who didn't.
"Patients need to know that surgery is not your only option for treating pain associated with sciatica," says Bethany Richerson, PT, DPT, OCS, a physical therapist ProRehab in Henderson, Kentucky. "This British Medical Journal study notes that patients have options to avoid surgery. Physical therapy can produce the same results if patients are able to do it with the first six months of pain. "
