Twenty years or so ago, I had crippling sciatica, felt like red hot pokers down the back of my thighs to my calves.
Solution: exercise, and plenty of it, particularly working on the gluts and the abs. Haven’t had a problem in years.

A good remedy must ‘treat the cause’ of the sciatica. “Sciatica” is a general term that is often miss-used but basically means any type of irritation/inflammation of the sciatic nerve (the largest nerve in the body). True sciatic type of pain is neurological pain and usually other neurological signs will be present (such as changes in neurological reflexes, muscle weakness, and/or numbness/hypoesthesia). If none of these signs are present, the leg pain may not be a true sciatica, but rather ‘referred pain’ from a myofascial triggerpoint (the most common cause of leg pain).
Common causes of true sciatic type of pain include:
1) Herniated/bulging lumbar disc(s)
2) Piriformis Syndrome
3) Lateral recess stenosis in the lumbar spine secondary to disc degeneration and/or other degenerative changes
4) Sacro-iliac joint syndrome
A good Chiropractor can help you determine the cause of your mate’s pain and the proper treatment.
Best wishes and good luck.

Yes, there is a solution to get rid of the cause. A fairly new Swiss one-time treatment named “Atlasprofilax” would do it. The manual treatment costs approx. 220 Dollars and is available in California and in Europe.
60000 persons have been treated already, also against other symptoms (whiplash, migraine, muscle trouble asf.) – and I myself have sent 30 people to a treatment personally. Until now 100% positive feedback.
