#1.
Over-The-Counter-Medication...
Using over the counter medication as a way of getting sciatic relief is by no means new.
It is instant, affordable, easily assessable (just take a stroll to the nearest pharmacy - in fact every neighborhood has a local pharmacy; some communities have pharmacies that operate 24 hour serves).
If your case of sciatica is mild, your doctor may prescribe over the counter medication like Tylenol, or Ibuprofen, or even aspirins.
If on the other hand your condition is severe, then he / she might prescribe more serious pain killers like an epidural spinal injection.
Epidural spinal injections are used to control inflammations which occur when the muscles surrounding the sciatic nerve causes it to become pinched due to constant muscle spasm and contractions.

Ice and Heat Packs...
An Ice pack is another method that can bring instant sciatic relief by helping to reduce the inflammation of the sciatic nerve.
You do not need to use any fancy stuff; a homemade ice pack will do.
To create a homemade ice pack, simply get frozen vegetables from the freezer and wrap it in a towel or a thick cloth.
Apply the ice pack to the affected area for about 30 minutes and then pause for about 15 minutes.
Reapply and pause alternatively as required until the pain subsides.
Perform this routine about twice daily until you see marked improvement in your condition.
Ensure that you do not apply the ice directly on your skin so as to avoid tissue damage.
If you opt to using a heat pack, you should also ensure that you do not apply directly to your skin.
Apply the heat to the affected areas in your back.
Heat relaxes the muscles and allows relief to occur.
You may also make use of a battery powered heat pack in case you need to carry it for use at work.

Horseradish and Water...
Some people say that this method for gaining near instant sciatic relief sounds awful.
My response as always is that if the pain you are feeling is really intense, the last thing on your mind will be the "way the sciatic relief sounds".
Horseradish and water is a very effective way to bring relief to those pinched sciatic nerves of yours.
The way to apply this natural method of remedying sciatica is to cover the painful areas with a tablespoon or more of the minced paste.
To relive the pain, you need to leave it in place for about sixty minutes by wrapping a cloth around it to form a sort of poultice.
FACT: Most conventional treatments for sciatica only work as a temporary band aid solution; they all fail to work in the long run!
