Many people struggle with discomforts caused by the compression of their sciatic nerves by herniated disks.

Physical therapy can be used to remedy this condition. This basically involves the direct involvement of a professional therapist.

This is very essential because it relieves the inflammation by improving the nerve and the spinal cord structure.

Depending on the intensity of the discomfort, the physician may recommend simple painkillers that may suppress the pain or strong muscle relaxer and anti-inflammatories drugs. The physicians may also prefer to deliver the drug directly to the affected nerve through an injection. This helps reduce the discomfort the patient is experiencing.

This is only recommended when all the other remedies fail to relieve the discomfort. After this procedure is done, the patient can be discharged on the same day.

Laminectomy can also be used to deal with this condition. This surgical procedure should also be done by a professional surgeon. The surgeon operates on the patient to remove the lamina and the tissues around the inflammation that cause the pressure on the nerve. This procedure is quite sensitive, and the doctor may decide to keep the patient for several days to observe their progress.
