Dr. Meng Yuanyuan
Sciatica is primarily treated with neurotrophic (nerve-nourishing) and analgesic medications. Additionally, herbal medicines that relax the tendons and promote blood circulation may also be used; these improve peripheral blood flow and effectively alleviate sciatic pain. For patients with sciatica, the first step is to identify the underlying cause, followed by targeted etiological treatment.
