Pain in the sciatic nerve first requires a visit to orthopedics or spinal surgery to look into whether the pain is caused by a herniated disc compressing the nerve root. If examinations or imaging studies find no abnormalities, we might consider the possibility of piriformis syndrome, or other reasons causing the nerve pain. You can then consult the pain management department to determine the cause and receive appropriate treatment, primarily involving orthopedics and pain management.
