Medical versus surgical sciatica treatment is certainly a very personal decision. Are there truly miracle sciatica cures available to the person with severe symptoms. With today’s fast moving technology, they are finding more ways to do this once very risky surgery with the patient now able to return to normal activities the following day and to work in about a week. This is laser surgery and again is usually not performed unless the symptoms are severe. As with all other promises of sciatica cures, it should be discussed in detail with the surgeon who will be doing the surgery and with discussion of all possible side effects. Apparently this procedure takes very little time to perform and the results at this point have been proven successful in many patients.
