Orthopedic doctors and surgeons are able to, and commonly do, treat sciatica. You can find out what is causing your sciatic nerve pain by having your orthopedic doctor perform a physical exam, assessing your joint motions and stability, and testing your reflexes and sensations. A doctor may also order lab tests to rule out any diseases that could be causing your sciatica and may order imaging studies to find out exactly where the compression is. It is often possible to treat sciatica without resorting to surgical methods. Among the pain-relieving options are over-the-counter medications, prescription medications, and steroids. In the event that these methods fail to improve your symptoms, or you are experiencing significant loss of function or disabling pain, your doctor will discuss surgical options with you.
