Highly Effective Treatments for Sciatic Nerve Pain

Muscle Relaxants Combined With Pain Relievers

Individuals suffering from a bulging or herniated spinal disk may experience painful muscle spasms, which may compress the sciatic nerve, thereby causing intense pain. Muscle relaxants may be of some use in relieving spasms. These, however, do not treat pain associated with compression, so patients may also need to incorporate pain relievers into their routine. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs reduce the inflammation associated with nerve compression while providing pain relief to the affected area. It is important to note these treatments only provide relief from the symptoms caused by sciatic nerve compression. They are best combined with therapies that increase flexibility and strengthen surrounding muscles.
