My Sciatica Is Really Bad – Do I Really Need That Sciatica Operation?

Sciatica can feel like lightning shooting down your lower back into your leg. Many people immediately look for a miracle cure for sciatica or assume a sciatica operation is the only way. Yet surgery isn’t always essential if we pinpoint the exact nerve compression.

Common Causes and Pitfalls

• Herniated disc pressing on nerve roots
• Spinal stenosis narrowing the nerve pathway
• Lack of advanced imaging leading to guess-based therapies

Painkillers or basic stretches may bring temporary relief, but if the compression site is missed, flare-ups will keep coming. That’s why The Pain Relief Clinic arranges MRI or X-ray quickly—often in one working day—to determine whether surgery is truly warranted.

• Want immediate relief from sciatica pain?
• Unsure if surgery is your only hope?
