Lower back pain is the main symptom of sciatica, and how can you treat sciatica without also treating the pain? One way to treat the pain is with anti-inflammatory treatment and cold and heat packs. Pain is caused by an inflamed nerve the this treatment will target the inflammation and reduce it. Many over the counter anti-inflammatory are available. Cold packs should be applied first to relieve the pain and once the pain has subsided, heat should be applied to the area to help increase oxygen and blood flow to the nerves. Each should be applied in 10 minute increments, 10 on and then 10 off.
