Home remedies
Rest
Over-the-counter painkillers
Ice packs
Proper posture
Resting the back by not bending, flexing or lifting heavy weights
Warm baths
Sleeping on a mattress that is neither too soft, nor too hard
Ergonomic furniture, such as chairs with lumbar support
Gentle exercises to strengthen and support the lower back.
Professional treatment options
Sciatica that doesn’t resolve itself after a few days needs prompt medical attention. Professional treatment for sciatica includes:
Medication including painkillers and anti-inflammatories
Traction
Manipulative therapies such as chiropractic or osteopathy
Epidural injections that is, medication injected directly into the spine
Chemonucleolysis injection of a special enzyme into the disk
Physiotherapy including electrical stimulation of the back muscles
Alternative therapies including acupuncture
Surgery as a last resort.
Good luck.
try yoga stretches. It won’t cure it, but it sure helps. Also you can sit on an exercise ball and stretch. But the yoga is wonderful
The problem is probably in your lumbar area. I suggest you call your chiropractoc and get your spine re-aligned. It is very important that you do not wait, as these kind of pains do not go away on their own. A pinched nerve or a disk that is compressed will not get better if you do not give your body a chance to heal.
