Hi Dear,

About 70-80% of patients, lumbar radiculopathy (sciatica is transient), and resolves with nonsurgical treatments such as antiinflammitory medications, physical therapy, exercise, spinal manipulation, or other nonsurgical modalities. A proportion of patients with sciatica require surgical intervention in instances where non-surgical therapies have failed to provide adequate pain relief and there is pathology that is present compressing the nerves.
