Sciatica problems are complicated and confusing for people (even healthcare professionals) to treat.
The biggest challenge is that there are many causes of sciatica that can pile on top of each other. And the different causes can have different treatments that might need to change depending on the intensity of the sciatica problem.
So it’s not so straightforward. And you really need to think through what treatment you’re doing so that you can make sure it is truly helpful for you rather than harmful.
It’s not so black and white when answering the questions, “what treatment are good for sciatica?” and “what treatments are bad for sciatica?”
In this video, Dr. David tells you about 10 mistakes people make when trying to help sciatica pain.
