The sciatica nerve pain can range from annoying to unbearable le. However, for sever or even ongoing flare up, the condition and underlying cause will be needed to be treated. Depending on the cause and diagnosis the disorder, certain sciatica treatment can be undertaken. They include the following:

Professional care
•    Physiotherapy is one form of sciatica treatment that will help reduce the pain and pressure on the nerve. Based on the diagnosis of the disorder, a physiotherapist will provide you with the right and guided treatment that will help you ease the pressure and pain.
•    Epidural Steroid Injections for Sciatica pain can be administered depending on the severity of the pain. If the pain is severe, this epidural steroid injection can be performed to reduce the inflammation. This injection is different from oral medications because it injects steroids directly to the painful area around the affected sciatic nerve. This helps in decreasing the inflammation that may be causing the pain.
•    Certain medication can be prescribed by the specialists in order to reduce the pressure on the nerve and reduce the pain. This medication has to be taken on the advice of the specialist only.

Home remedies:
•    Avoid lifting, bending or sitting in a lower chair as this will apply pressure on the nerve causing the pain to become much worse.
•    You can opt for over the counter medication. However ensure that you are well aware of your medical history before you take a new medication. This may lead to a reaction with your body, which in turn may aggravate your pain or even cause irreversible damage.  Additionally, if you are already taking medication for another disorder, you must either discontinue it or ensure that it does not cause any reaction with the over the counter medication you will be taking.

•    A hot and cold pack will help reduce the intensity of the pain. Using these packs in alternate intervals will help reduce the pressure on the nerve. Take precaution that the ice or even the hot material does not touch the skin directly. Additionally you can also get the area massaged slightly to reduce the pressure.
•    Adjust your position when you are sleeping. Lying on a firm flat surface with a pillow under your knees will help reduce the pressure on the affected nerves. You can even opt for lying on your side with the pillow between your knees. This will ensure that your back is in a straight posture.
•    The best form of sciatica treatment is light exercises. This will help reduce the pressure to the affected area, which in turn will reduce the pain. It will also help the surrounding muscle area from becoming stiff due to lack of exercise
